About Richard Sam

I have been practicing as a specialist clinical pharmacist since 2013 conducting home medication reviews. Prior to this, my background has been in community pharmacy where I have practiced in various locations around Sydney; primarily Hornsby, Castle Hill, Mona Vale, Wahroonga and St Ives.

In addition to conducting home medication reviews, I also spend time conducting review work and medication support services in residential aged care.

GP Practices

Where can I send the HMR referral?

Referrals can either be emailed as an attachment to richard@nsmr.com.au or faxed to 02 8076 1523.

What information should I send with the referral?
Best Practice and Medical Director have templates for MBS 900 that can be pre-populated with the relevant information. Typically, this will include the patient’s name, DOB, address, contact information, medication list and medical history.
Additionally, any relevant pathology that can be provided will also be extremely helpful.
How is my patient contacted?
I shall contact your patient directly to arrange a time. Thus, please ensure there is a current contact number on the referral, and that the patient is also informed that I will be reaching out to them (this is to minimise the risk of your patient thinking that the appointment call is from a cold-calling telemarketer).
What is the usual turnaround time for the review?
After your patient has been seen, the report should typically be sent to you within a week. I will usually send the reports via email. However, if you have a different preference, this can be indicated on the referral.

Expert Medication Guidance in the Comfort of Your Home.

Managing medications can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when dealing with multiple prescriptions. A Home Medication Review (HMR) is designed to help you understand your medications, ensure their safe use, and improve your overall health outcomes.

What is a Home Medication Review (HMR)?
An HMR is a comprehensive assessment of your medications conducted in your home by a credentialed pharmacist. This review ensures that all your prescribed and over-the-counter medications are used safely and effectively. The process is initiated by your General Practitioner (GP), who will refer you to a qualified pharmacist for an in-depth evaluation of your medication regimen.
