In April 2017, Hogan Pharmacy Partners will commence providing the provision of Pharamcy Services to Blue Water Rest Home.  The Home undertook a rigorous selection process as four local pharmacies and three specialist services were invited to submit proposals.  Three suppliers were then invited to make presentations at the Home, with Hogan being the successful candidate.  The selection process included using many criteria, including compliance and legislative requirements and the ability to provide 24-hour emergency service.  Safety and quality were paramount in our discussions at all times.  Hogan brings the latest in technological advances to ensure that our residents are well-served on a 24/7/365 basis and provides regular on-site presence to support our nursing department.  We are confident there will be a smooth transition over the next few months.
