Home Medicines Review Specialists

If medicines aren’t used properly, or if the wrong ones are used together, the results can be serious. Each year more than 140,000 Australians have to go to hospital with problems caused by their medications. In up to 70% of these cases, the problem could have been avoided. Older people are particularly at risk.

The Home Medicines Review (HMR) Program was developed in response to this problem.
It is funded by the Australian government.

Your GP writes a referral and sends it to our credentialled clinical pharmacist.
A pharmacist conducts an interview with you in your home and then writes a report for to the GP.
The GP will discuss any recommendations with you and may make appropriate changes to your medicines.

If you live in the Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, Kurri, Singleton, Dungog or Raymond Terrace areas, ask your GP for a Home Medicines Review referral to be sent to us at hvcpharmacyservices@gmail.com or via fax to (02) 9475 4706
