Open at every hour, no substitutes

The pharmacy counter is staffed around the clock. Every item held is authorized stock; there are no substitutes and no grey-market supply, and a pharmacist checks each order against your file before it is handed over.

Because pharmacists dispensing your medicine can read your hospital file, they can flag an interaction with something else you are taking or confirm a dose against what your doctor prescribed. Prescriptions are kept on file digitally, which makes a repeat order or a query from another department straightforward.

  • Keeping a digital record of your prescriptions
