Annfield Plain Pharmacy · Care-home medication support
Less chasing medicines.
More time for care.
A local pharmacy team that understands care-home routines. Talk to Annfield Plain Pharmacy about medicine supply, MAR and eMAR support, staff training and a practical service for your home.
For care-home managers, owners and clinical leads across our local area.
Built around the realities of care
Practical support for your medicines routine.
We start with a conversation about your home, your residents’ needs and the arrangements you already have.
Medicine packs & original packs
Discuss Medipak and original-pack dispensing arrangements suited to residents’ assessed needs and your home’s workflow.
MAR & eMAR support
Talk through medication record processes, changes and how pharmacy supply can work with your existing eMAR provider.
Pharmacy audits & medicines reviews
Discuss regular reviews, including a 6–12 month audit cycle where agreed, and practical support with your medicines procedures.
Staff training & everyday questions
Support with ordering routines, medication records, variable-dose processes and questions that arise during day-to-day care.
A branch team you can contact
A direct route to discuss missed medicines, urgent supply queries and coordination with GP practices. Agree escalation arrangements with the branch.
Considering a change?
A conversation first.
A practical plan together.
1. Tell us about your home
Share your location, approximate number of residents and the main medicines-supply issues you want to improve.
2. Review what you need
Discuss dispensing, delivery, MAR/eMAR, staff support and how urgent or out-of-hours questions would be handled.
3. Agree the arrangements
Build an agreed service and handover plan with the relevant people before making changes to your current supply.
Already have a pharmacy? You can still speak to us about your needs and see whether our approach would suit your home.
Please leave resident names and clinical details out of the first enquiry. The branch can arrange an appropriate route for any information needed later.
