Medication Management

Medication management at home,
done safely

Juggling several medications — different doses, different times, changes after a hospital stay — is where mistakes happen. Medication management at home puts a Registered Nurse in charge of getting it right: the correct medicine, the correct dose, at the correct time.

Medication management at home, done right every time

It is essential for older people on multiple medicines, anyone whose regimen changed after surgery or hospital, and people managing conditions like diabetes, heart failure or Parkinson's, where timing genuinely matters.

We reconcile everything against your latest prescriptions and work directly with your GP and pharmacist, so your medication list is current and safe rather than an accumulation of old scripts.

What we provide
Medication reconciliation

Building one accurate, up-to-date list, removing duplicates, ceased medicines and dangerous interactions.

Administration and supervision

Giving or supervising doses correctly and on time, including injections such as insulin and anticoagulants.

Dose aids and Webster-paks

Setting up and checking dose-administration aids so medicines are organised and errors are obvious.

Prescriber and pharmacy liaison

Coordinating directly with your GP and pharmacist when scripts change, so nothing falls through the cracks.

What to expect

How we make medication safe

A methodical process, not a pillbox and hope:

1
Medication review
A nurse lists every medicine you take — prescribed, over-the-counter and supplements — and checks it against your current prescriptions.
2
Reconcile with your GP
We resolve any discrepancies with your GP and pharmacist so the plan is correct and current.
3
Set up the routine
We organise a dose aid or schedule and, where needed, administer or supervise doses on each visit.
4
Ongoing monitoring
We watch for side effects and effectiveness and flag concerns to your prescriber promptly.
Why Paterson's

Removing a common, preventable risk

Medication errors are among the most common and preventable causes of harm at home, and the risk rises with every extra medicine. Our Registered Nurses manage complex regimens to current safety standards, with a clinical lead practising in a major hospital. When something looks wrong, we question it rather than simply hand it over.

Frequently asked questions
Can a nurse give injections like insulin or blood thinners?
Yes. Administering insulin, anticoagulants and other injectable medicines safely is part of in-home medication management.
What is a Webster-pak and do I need one?
It is a dose-administration aid that organises medicines by day and time. We can set one up and check it, which helps with complex regimens, though not everyone needs one.
Will you talk to my GP and pharmacist?
Yes. Coordinating directly with your prescriber and pharmacy is central to keeping your medication list accurate and safe.
My medications changed after hospital — can you help?
That is exactly when this service matters most. We reconcile the new regimen against the old and make sure the changes are followed correctly at home.
Is this suitable for an elderly parent I care for?
Very. It is one of the most common reasons families call us, and it lifts a real worry off carers.
