Stages of Services
How Ward MM Thrive works with you to provide the best health results.
Creating The Thrive Plan
Identifying their goals: The Ward MM Medication Specialist (Clinical Pharmacist) will meet with you, your client, their family (where relevant), their GP and any other specialists to determine any current concerns and determine desired outcomes.
Their unique make up: A non-invasive DNA test will be conducted to determine the metaboliser status of your client.
Review of their medication regimen: Your client’s current medication regimen, DNA results, current symptoms, vital statistics and test results will be reviewed by a Ward MM Medication Specialist.
Creating a plan to Thrive: A proactive Thrive Medication Plan is created, outlining a proposed set of medication regimen changes which achieve the goals determined at the outset of the process. You will be consulted about the plan before we discuss it with your client.
Implementing The Thrive Plan
Introducing the plan: The Ward MM Medication Specialist meets with your client (and family) to discuss their Thrive Medication Plan, offer 24/7 support services (online and phone), provide a customised MedicAlert bracelet (if requested) and introduce them to their My Thrive Personalised Online Dashboard.
Making the change: Medication is gradually altered over the coming months in consultation with you. The Ward MM Medication Specialist will also perform clinical clerking duties for the GP as required.
Thrive is subject to monthly fees which may vary dependant on the level of care required.
Monitoring The Thrive Plan
Monitoring progress: The Ward MM Medication Specialist continues to monitor and talk to your client about their medication concerns and desired outcomes, refining the Thrive Medication Plan in consultation with you as your client’s needs or circumstances change.
The Ward MM Medication Specialist will also provide regular coaching to ensure your client adheres to their medication regimen, medications are up to date and that they are confident as to how to store them
This helps to prevent medication misadventure and helps the patient continue to thrive.
How does testing DNA help find the right medication?
Our DNA testing partner, MyDNA conduct a pharmacogenomic test which identifies variations in a number of genes that affect medication response. These variations have been shown to affect either the blood levels or the therapeutic response/side-effects to a number of medications.
