My DNA
DNA analysis is a growing field of science. New evidence comes to light every day about the meaning of specific genetic results and how they can help guide our lifestyle choices.
Weight Management
Community pharmacies are increasingly becoming centres for weight management with pharmacists and pharmacy staff undertaking training and introducing special programs and plans to address this growing area of health concern.
Equipment Hire
While generally the health of older people is better than it has ever been, mobility remains an issue as people get older and often they need assistance to remain mobile.
National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS)
Many community pharmacies are now access points for services and products provided under the National Diabetes Services Scheme.
Absence from Work Certificates
Many community pharmacies now provide absence from work certificates. This means your local pharmacist can help when you or someone you care for requires proof of a legitimate absence from work.
Anaemia Screening
Anaemia is a deficiency in the number or quality of red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body. It isn’t a disease in itself, but a result of a malfunction somewhere in the body.
Medication Management
Did you know pharmacists can help you manage medicines for yourself and those you care for?
Delivery Services
Many community pharmacies offer home delivery services which are particularly useful for the very sick, aged or immobile patients.
