We are a privately owned and operated Canadian company, in business since 1985. Our
focus is the home healthcare market including pharmaceutical care, complementary medicines
and the knowledge and expertise that goes with this. Therefore, although a certain portion
of the business is product based, the knowledge base, represented by the trained staff of
pharmacists, nurse, technicians and homecare consultants is where we put our emphasis. As
a result, we offer a complete package of products and services for the healthcare
consumer and the healthcare practitioner.
We have specialized in a few unique areas. Custom Compounding is
just one
which has met the need for flexible solutions to therapeutic problems. The
pharmacist is able to customize the product to best solve the therapeutic
challenges that present themselves to physician, dentist, veterinarian,
podiatrist and naturopath. The pharmacist works closely with the
practitioner and the patient to create a solution that best fits the needs of
the patient. No more one size fits all and instead, the product is made to
fit the patient. This may be as simple as changing the dosage form from a
tablet to a syrup. Or it may require a somewhat sophisticated solution
such as an injectable product that is no longer available, or a delivery system
not available commercially. The possibilities are limited only by our
imagination which is stretched to the limits daily.
The need for patient specific information has motivated the profession of
pharmacy to explore better sources of such information and personalized delivery
of this. This may take the form of simply spending a few minutes with the
patient at the time of dispensing or it may require setting up a disease
management program. In either case, the information must be accurate, it
must be understandable and it must be timely. To that end, new
technologies are enabling us to do just that.
The internet alone offers access to information not previously available to
us or to patients. The pharmacist and/or technician has available powerful
search tools and huge databases of drug information. Many pharmaceutical
companies make available high quality information about their products,
including clinical studies, adverse drug reports, drug interactions and recall
information . Where time is often our enemy, the internet has defeated
that threat and put a whole new definition on that term.
This website, we hope, will meet some those information needs. We
recognize that our value to our customers, our patients, the health
practitioners we work with, is the pharmacist's knowledge and ability to improve
patient health outcomes. We continue to search for innovative solutions to
those therapeutic problems. The focus is to improve the health outcomes of
our patients, and to improve the quality of life.
Thank you for visiting our site.

A pharmacist for over 25 years, with most of those years spent in
community pharmacy. One of the principals in the company that made
Stafford Pharmacy & Home Healthcare a reality in 1985. Has been
involved in a variety of professional and service innovations. Always
working to find ways to incorporate new ideas, new strategies and
technologies into the practice of pharmacy. "Innovations in our
profession have to make sense and not just be attractive from a "nice to
have" viewpoint. It has to make sense to the patient and it must
contribute to a better outcome before its use can be justified".
