Services
We co-design and deliver education solutions to improve your community’s medicines literacy knowledge and skills. This empowers them to proactively manage their medicines and health.
We measure the impact of what we do on people’s knowledge, confidence and behaviour.
We focus on general medicines management issues, as well as specific topics, for example, mental health, lung conditions, diabetes, pain or heart disease.
We work with people of all ages: children, adolescents and adults. We work with people from many backgrounds including: First Nations people, people with disability and people from rural and remote areas.
We measure the impact of our service on your community’s knowledge, confidence and behaviour.
MedicinesEd provides your community with valuable information about medicines including:
• What people need to know about medicines
• How to consider the benefits and risks of medicines
• Where to find trustworthy information about medicines
• Communication strategies to ask questions about medicines
Face-to-face & online workshops
Face-to-face workshops allow your community to come together to share their experiences and learn from each other. This enhances social connectedness.
The sessions are designed to suit the needs of your community, and can be anything from a causal discussion to a more formal presentation.
We also run a similar style of interactive online workshop.
Yarning circles
These are designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Each yarning circle is unique, driven by the needs of the people who attend. This informal approach allows people to learn from one another and share knowledge. We use culturally appropriate resources.
Podcasts
MedicinesEd offers a series of easy-to-understand podcasts, hosted by our team, providing convenient and on-demand short bites of information for your audience. We work with you to develop either a series of podcasts or a stand-alone episode that highlights the messages you would like your audience to hear.
Education & training
MedicinesEd upskills healthcare professionals to improve consumers’ medicines literacy. We improve the ability of the healthcare professionals in your organisation to give consumers the skills they need to use medicines safely and appropriately. Our customised training programs are tailored to the specific needs of your organisation.
