Clinical Pharmacy

Clinical Pharmacy

Our ward input is the key to our clinical service. Wards are visited daily (Monday to Friday) by a Pharmacist in order to deal with all aspects of drug use. They will give advice and are willing to answer queries as we find it better to work on a multi professional basis. To achieve the best results please get to know your ward Pharmacist. They all carry a bleep and are contactable.
