At Venalink, we recognise the pivotal role pharmacists play as part of a multidisciplinary team that significantly enhances the health and well-being of residents in care homes or nursing homes. Our monitored dosage systems (MDS) provide a comprehensive solution that not only elevates medication administration but also fosters better treatment adherence among older adults.

In light of recent events, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of medication adherence has become increasingly evident. Given that 66% of care home patients take more than seven medications a day, it highlights the critical need for streamlined medication management.

Tailored Formats for Effective Medication Management

At Venalink, we offer a variety of MDS formats specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of each resident. For instance, our larger capacity formats are designed to hold up to 10-15 medications per blister cavity for each medication dose or time pass, ensuring effective medication management.

Streamlined Medication Oversight for Care Homes

Our systems offer ample space for clear labelling, which facilitates patient identification and treatment record-keeping. By organising every medication by dosage and day, we create a visually intuitive format that simplifies the administration process.

Unparalleled Convenience With Detachable Blister Cavities

Our FlexRx™ format simplifies medication management by allowing users to easily detach blister cavities, creating portable medication doses that also serve as medication cups. With this design, each perforated cavity can be easily removed while still retaining important medication information on its label.

Empowering Caregivers and Reducing Risk of Errors

Venalink MDS offers a holistic overview of the patient’s medication schedule throughout the week, which in turn helps remind caregivers and reduces the risk of missed or incorrectly administered doses.
