Pilltime is a free NHS service that supports providers to reduce medication errors in the community. Ideal for those who take multiple medications, Pilltime’s solution helps customers take the right medication at the right time, every time, so that they can feel well and stay healthy. Pilltime’s multiple medication service makes managing medication simpler for care staff and customers alike. Providing a completely tailored service, Pilltime dispenses NHS prescriptions into pouches, pre-sorted with all the medication you need for each customer in one batch. This reduces the likelihood of administration errors and improves efficiency when caring for a number of customers or for those with complex or chronic conditions. Care staff no longer need to wait in line at the local pharmacy for prescriptions, as pouches are delivered directly to the customer’s door, along with any other prescription items they may need, such as inhalers, creams and liquids. Personalised pouches allow care staff to see exactly what the customer has taken, as each pouch is clearly labelled with a full contents description, the customer’s details and the date and time of their dose. Pilltime also provides medication administration record (MAR) charts, saving care staff valuable time so they can focus on providing vital care and support to customers. With a focus on improving customer outcomes, Pilltime’s solution allows for improved medication management, encouraging optimum medication adherence and ultimately reducing the number of trips your customers need to take to surgeries.
