In particular, anyone taking a number of medications or with several health conditions should discuss a Home Medicines Review with your GP.


Your GP gives you a referral to the community pharmacy or accredited pharmacist of your choice. The pharmacist has specialist training to conduct HMRs.


The pharmacist then talks with you in your home and provides a HMR Report back to the GP and can provide it to your community pharmacy.

You and the GP discuss the report and develop a ‘medication management plan’ that you can share with all your health care providers to assist with your ongoing care.
