Knowledge
A practice library, without a till.
place
What this building is — and is not
It is not a hospital, nor a medical centre that employs doctors. It is a neighbourhood building for care, with a pharmacy on the ground floor and independent practices above.
place
Care in the neighbourhood, without leaving it
Agios Ierotheos has a square, a church, a pharmacy, consulting rooms. The building exists so that health is not something that “happens elsewhere”.
care
Diabetes next to the pharmacy — without becoming a “diabetes centre”
The same building holds pharmaceutical diabetes care, an endocrine practice, a dietetic practice and a diagnostic laboratory. It is not a department. It is adjacency with meaning.
pharmacy
What the pharmacy does when it is not merely a till
The prescription is dispensed. Then care begins: form, device, adherence, the question that does not fit a barcode.
pharmacy
Compounded medicines: what the patient should expect
A compounded preparation is not “the pharmacy cream”. It is a medicine for one identified person, with a prescription, a form and a date that have reasons.
care
Readings a physician can trust
The device is the easy part. The hard part is technique, consumables, and whether the number tells the truth.
care
Many medicines, one day
Polypharmacy is not a moral problem of old age. It is a coordination problem. The pharmacy sees it in the box, not only on the e-prescription.
professionals
For the physician who prescribes compounding or care
The ground-floor pharmacy treats difficult prescriptions as a pharmaceutical problem. It prefers a conversation before a dead-end dispense.
