At an organisational level, we are keen to embrace technology and the digital agenda to enhance working practices and have a well established electronic patient record which incorporates a full electronic prescribing and medicines administration system. At a departmental level, we have been fortunate to receive significant investment in recent years, which in addition to growing our team, has led to a major departmental refurbishment, the replacement of our Pharmacy Robot, the creation of a new Pharmacy and Aseptic Unit in the Cancer Centre, and the opening of a new Outpatient Pharmacy.
