Pharmacy

Almost all patients receive some sort of medicine during their time in the hospital. We make sure the medicines you take are safe, appropriate and cost-effective.

Our team includes a variety of people, including pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pharmacy support workers and clerical staff. You may come across some of these people during your hospital stay.

The pharmacy supplies medicines and pharmaceutical expertise to the wards and departments of the hospital.
