Dispensing medicines
Dispensing both NHS and Private (chargeable) prescriptions as efficiently and safely as possible. Holding a wide range medication but if we don't keep it in stock we will ensure we can order the medicine as quick as possible.
Discharge Medicines Service
Discharge medicines play a crucial role in the transition of patients from hospital to home. In a pharmacy setting, it is essential to ensure that patients receive clear instructions regarding their medications, including the correct dosages, potential side effects, and the importance of adherence to their prescribed regimen. Pharmacists are instrumental in reviewing and verifying discharge prescriptions, providing counselling to patients and their families, and addressing any concerns that may arise during this critical time. Ultimately, well-managed discharge medicines contribute to improved patient outcomes and reduced re-admission rates.
Disposal of unwanted medicines
Disposal of unwanted medicines, including expired medications, is a crucial aspect of responsible pharmacy practice. It is essential to ensure that these pharmaceuticals do not end up in regular waste streams, which can pose significant risks to the environment and public health. Patients should return unused or out-of-date medicines for safe disposal to prevent accidental ingestion and misuse, as well as minimise contamination of water supplies. It is also important to return used or unwanted inhalers to help the environment.
