Nomads

These are pre-packed medications that are delivered weekly by the chemist. They are available for elderly patients on complicated drug regimens or people with memory problems.

They are not suitable for those on prescriptions that change regularly. They cannot be used for certain drugs like painkillers that need to be taken only when needed (as required or PRN drugs) or warfarin because the dose changes frequently.

Ask reception if you think you or a relative would benefit from a nomad.
