Finalists
HOSPITAL PHARMACY TEAM OF THE YEAR
NHS FORTH VALLEY PHARMACY SERVICES, FALKIRK COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, FALKIRK
The Forth Valley Royal Hospital Hospital Pharmacy Team is a high-performing team, driven to continuously improve care and services for patients. It is highly regarded within the hospital and is considered to be innovative, responsive and consistently delivering a top-quality service. The team has recently successfully implemented Hospital Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (HEPMA) across FVRH: the first accelerated roll-out of HEPMA in Scotland and will be published as part of national lessons learned.
NHS BORDERS MEDICAL ASSESSMENT UNIT PHARMACY TEAM,
BORDERS GENERAL HOSPITAL, MELROSE
The pharmacist cover within the Medical Assessment Unit (MAU) is very dependent upon team working. Both the pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are patient facing as much as possible and support each other’s roles. If required, for example, the pharmacist will educate the clinician carrying out the initial medicines reconciliation, facilitating this in a constructive manner and ensuring patient safety, while the pharmacist may also accompany the consultant on their post intake ward round, providing invaluable advice.
THE GOLDEN JUBILEE HOSPITAL PHARMACY TEAM, CLYDEBANK
The installation of a new electronic drug cupboard system throughout Golden Jubilee Hospital meant that every relevant member of staff needed to be trained in its usage over a six-week period: no mean feat considering the 400 people who needed to be trained in a short period of time. Martyn Gall and Fiona Buchanan facilitated administrator training, which was cascaded down through a series of ‘super users’ to ensure that all staff were trained in the required time period.
EMERGENCY CLINICAL PHARMACY TEAM, WISHAW GENERAL HOSPITAL, WISHAW
The Emergency Care Clinical Pharmacy Team, which works within the medical receiving unit and ambulatory care unit of Wishaw General Hospital, works together to provide a clinical pharmacy service to these busy units. The team was recently expanded and the skill mix of
staff who were already working within the pharmacy department was reviewed, creating new extended roles for technicians with the aim of improving patient safety at the ‘front door’ of the hospital.
