The Pharmacy services in our hospitals provide a complete medicines management service. We use only high quality evidence based treatments to ensure that medicines complement treatment and recovery.

The Pharmacy staffing at our hospitals includes Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians and Pharmacy Assistants who are trained and motivated to the highest level in order to ensure high quality service delivery and advice, in a friendly and approachable manner.

These staff perform a wide variety of duties, including:

• Reviewing prescriptions to ensure they are appropriate, and medicines are prescribed and administered effectively
• Dispensing hospital prescriptions
• Helping patients to understand their treatment
• Prescription checking and ordering of injections to treat cancer and infections, and also nutrition that can be put into the blood stream
• Providing financial and clinical information to hospital staff and our consultant colleagues

Pharmacy practice is governed by the various statutory regulations and by the code of ethics, of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

Our aim is to apply these guidelines efficiently, to ensure the safe, accurate and economical usage of pharmaceutical products in the treatment of our patients.
