Gweithio i'n sefydliad

The pharmacy department provides inpatient and outpatient dispensing services to both Warrington and Halton Hospitals. We also provide clinical pharmacy services to two local Hospices, and a pharmaceutical supply function to several external organisations. There has been significant funding in our dispensaries on both sites, with new BD Vmax dispensing robots installed on both sites, the first time automation has been deployed at the Halton site, and funding has been approved to refresh our aseptic unit.

The department has close working relationships with local healthcare partners including local PCNs for pharmacist and pharmacy technician training posts, as well as hosting the NHS Cheshire and Merseyside virtual ward pharmacy team.

We are proud of our approach to developing our team, supporting staff who are keen to undertake further learning and qualifications to develop their skills and knowledge.
