Residential Medication Management Review (RMMR)
CPS has the most robust, and effective model for RMMR in Australia, having pioneered the collaborative RMMR model of medication reviews on which the current Commonwealth system is based. CPS’ clinical pharmacists are located throughout Tasmania allowing for close oversight of aged care facilities regardless of location. We are focused on forming truly collaborative relationships with medical practitioners and nursing staff to ensure the highest possible standard of care.

Quality Use of Medicines (QUM)
In addition to regular education events, CPS also provide a range of QUM services to aged care facilities. These services include comprehensive quarterly medication chart auditing to assist facilities in meeting the National Aged Care Mandatory Quality Indicator Program requirements, contribution to medication advisory committee activities, and other advisory roles.
