Pharmacists launch health management service for chronic illness

IRISH independent pharmacists have launched a nationwide health management service they claim will provide patients with full medical consultations without a doctor’s appointment.

Intervene aims to provide patients with reliable medical information, customised treatment programmes and a means of monitoring their conditions through their local independent pharmacy.

Intervene was set up by Cork pharmacist Garvan Lynch and co-founder Sheena Lynch, as a means of bring pharmacy back to a clinical profession, while also providing a health monitoring service that GPs cannot due to time constraints.
