We are committed to ensure that you are prepared to go back to the community by providing dietary advice.

Services are conducted in individual or group sessions. Topics include healthy diets, nutritional management of medical conditions and hands-on food preparation.

PHARMACY

 

Pharmacy aims to provide timely and cost-effective pharmaceutical care through remote and virtual care that is holistic and of high standards to our patients and customers from their and their carer's perspectives. We will provide seamless care through the continuum of care and integrate our patients back into the community.

We provide patient centered care through interviewing and engaging our patients and their caregivers during medication reconciliation. We set pharmacotherapy goals for individual patients. For selected groups of rehabilitative patients, we assess their abilities to self administer their medications during their stay in the hospital. We provide all patients with their personalised Patient Medication List and we use the list to educate and empower them and/or their caregivers on the names, indications and common side effects of their medications.
