Prescriptions — 03/09

Blister packs.

Weekly medication organised by day and time — for patients, families and carers.

When a medication routine gets complicated, a blister pack makes it simple: each dose sealed by day and time of day. Our pharmacists prepare and check every pack, and adjust it whenever your prescription changes.

Speak to the team about whether a blister pack suits your medication — some preparations can’t be packed, and we’ll always tell you straight.
