We offer a fully customised implementation approach, accommodating the specific needs of each care home. Choose between electronic MARs (eMars) or traditional colour coded paper MARs. We work with a range of software solutions including Access, Camascope, Omnicell, MED e-Care, and Atlas eMar.
In addition to our comprehensive Care Home Service, we offer a diverse range of dispensing styles to suit the unique needs of each care home and its residents. Whether it's multi-dose dosettes, mixed weekly dosettes, or original pack dispensing, we have you covered.

We collaborate with your teams to optimise workload planning and delivery schedules for maximum efficiency. Monthly medications can be delivered days in advance, while acute/interim medications are dispatched either on the same day or next day upon prescription receipt. Thanks to our extensive delivery network, we can deliver medications to your care home outside of regular working hours.
Our dedicated specialists provide comprehensive face-to-face and online training and offer audits upon request. Our goal is to empower care workers with the skills and knowledge to better serve their users. Our high-quality training instils confidence in medication handling and workplace safety.
We provide comprehensive audiology services to care homes, offering expert assessments, hearing aid fittings, and continuous support. Our goal is to enhance residents’ quality of life by improving their hearing and communication, all within the comfort of their familiar environment.
We provide comprehensive vaccination services to care homes, ensuring the health and safety of residents. Our team coordinates with care home staff to schedule vaccination clinics that minimise disruption and maximise convenience. Vaccines are administered by trained healthcare professionals, and we offer flexible scheduling to accommodate the unique needs of each care home. With our efficient process and extensive support, we ensure timely and effective vaccinations, helping to protect the vulnerable population in your care.
