Why should i bring my medicines to hospital?

• Your medicines are available when you need them, no need to order from the pharmacy.
• This can speed up your discharge knowing exactly which medicines you have.
• It avoids confusion - you carry on with your familiar medicines and we can dispose of changed medicines.
• Pharmacy staff check and maintain your supplies - you go home with at least 2 weeks of medicines.
• Helps staff identiy the medicines you usually take at home, even labelled weekly trasy from your pharmacy.
• Less wastage of medicines and NHS money - you dont take duplicates home and throw excess away.
