Health & Wellbeing
NHS Healthy Living
We support individuals living at home and care-home residents with medicines advice and healthy-living information.
Our Commitment to Healthy Living
As a GPhC-registered distance selling pharmacy, AB Pharmacy is committed to supporting the NHS Healthy Living agenda. We work closely with care homes, GPs, and healthcare professionals to promote preventive care, medicines optimisation, and the overall wellbeing of residents.
Our pharmacists play an active role in supporting healthy living by ensuring residents receive the right medicines at the right time, reducing the risk of adverse drug reactions, and providing clinical guidance to care home staff.
How We Support Healthy Living
Medicines Optimisation
We review and optimise medication regimens to ensure residents receive the most effective treatments with minimal side effects, supporting better health outcomes and reducing unnecessary polypharmacy.
Preventive Care Support
Our team supports vaccination programmes, health screening reminders, and preventive health initiatives aligned with NHS guidelines to keep residents healthier for longer.
Staff Health Education
We provide guidance and training resources to care home staff on safe medication administration, recognising side effects, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices among residents.
Medicines Advice
Our pharmacist can answer questions about medicines, discuss concerns about side effects and refer patients to their prescriber where a treatment review is needed.
Safe Medication Management
We help patients and carers understand how to take, store and manage medicines safely. Where additional support is needed, our pharmacist will assess suitable options.
Clinical Advice & Support
Our superintendent pharmacist and team are available to provide clinical advice to care home managers and staff, helping to resolve medication queries quickly and safely.
