Last week our Pharmacy department at CRH moved to a new temporary location, where they'll remain whilst their brand new dispensary is fitted out. Pharmacy colleagues volunteered to come in on Tuesday evening to transfer every box of medication to the new interim dispensary - a sixth of the original size and three floors away - so the work was completed in a few short hours.

Clinical Director of Pharmacy, Elizabeth Street, said: "Their commitment and hard work meant there were no interruptions or delays in the supply of medication to patients, and the service resumed as normal on Wednesday morning in their new home on the third floor.

“The offer of pizza was a small price to pay for the dedication and enthusiasm the team showed to get the work done – all with smiles on their faces. Special thanks to Eleanor Nastini, Jill Mobbs and Nigel Watson, who were the expert planners behind the whole event. Well done team, I’m very proud.”

A reminder from the team

Pharmacy can now be found on the third floor opposite the Pain Clinic - where Medical Engineering used to be. Please contact your Pharmacy Ward Team on the dedicated team phone rather than coming to the dispensary.
