Medication Checking Service

Chemist On Call

A medication check line is an essential part of the process of drug and alcohol testing across many industries. For the rail industry, although not included in the Achilles Link-UP audit, the devolvement of responsibility that comes when line management is compelled to check and record any medication that a member of their team has taken prior to presenting themselves for their shift leaves them in an invidious position without some method of assessing the impact of the medication: their decision to allow the team-member to continue with their normal duties, to deploy them to other duties or send them home on sick leave as being unfit to carry out their duties.

Without a 24/7 medication advice service, they can expose themselves, their team member, employer and the general public to unacceptable risk.

Healthcare Connection's Chemist On Call service provides a solution. HR departments and line managers of member companies belonging to this service  can access the web-based service from any web-enabled computer. This service is designed to be quick, convenient and cost-effective.

Furthermore, employees can check a medication online via a PIN password system. It is both a medication advice service and a medical advice arena where individuals can learn about various aspects of their body and the effects of drugs. The online system is supported by a 24/7 helpline, provided by our team of pharmacists, which can be used when web access is unavailable or more importantly, when a combination of drugs has been taken and only an expert pharmacists can provide advice on any potential interactions.
