Saints required to Develop and Support our Medicines Management Strategy

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust has an excellent team of friendly Pharmacy staff, committed to modernization of services and ward-based medicines management of clinical services.
We have a team of Technicians based in the Dispensary who are skilled in the process of final checking, which enables us to release Pharmacists from the Dispensary to undertake more clinical roles on the wards. With the current installation of the Robotic Dispensing System, we intend to release more Technicians into Medicines Management and implement the use of patients’ own medicines on discharge more widely. Together with the roll out of electronic discharge prescribing, this is the place for forward thinking Pharmacists ready to take on the challenges of the future.
