Pharmacy Stores

Our pharmacy service provides medicines to various areas within the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital NHS Trust, including Cromer Hospital, Norfolk Community Hospitals, and other locations like the Norfolk & Norwich Kidney Centre and East of England Ambulance Service.

We work with regional purchasing groups, pharmaceutical companies, and wholesalers to secure the best value for the medicines we buy, always ensuring quality and safety. When medicine shortages occur, we work closely with clinical teams to find solutions, ensuring essential medicines remain available or sourcing suitable alternatives.

We also manage the supply of bulk fluids to wards and clinical areas, ensuring they are listed, stocked, and delivered appropriately. Additionally, we process requests for extra stock when there is unexpected high demand, and regularly check expiry dates on stock both within the pharmacy and on the wards to ensure patient safety.
