Why should I bring my medicines to hospital?
Posted on:
- Your medicines are AVAILABLE when you need them, no need to order from pharmacy
- Avoids CONFUSION: you carry on with your familiar medicines and we can dispose of changed medicines
- Helps staff IDENTIFY the medicines you usually take at home, even labelled weekly trays from your pharmacy.
- Can SPEED up your discharge knowing exactly which medicines you have
- Pharmacy staff can check and MAINTAIN your supplies – you go home with at least 2 weeks of medicines
- Less WASTAGE of medicines and NHS money – you don’t take duplicates home and throw excess away
