Health & Wellbeing
NHS Healthy Living
Supporting healthier lives through expert pharmacy care and preventive health services.
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.
Medication Reviews
Regular structured medication reviews help identify opportunities to simplify treatment plans, reduce waste, and ensure every resident's medicines are still appropriate for their current health needs.
Safe Medication Management
Through our MDS blister packing service, we reduce the risk of medication errors, supporting safer administration and better adherence — a key pillar of healthy living for care home residents.
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.
