New 100 hour pharmacy introduces cutting edge technology


Rose Street Pharmacy, Wokingham Medical Centre When planning the new Rose Street Pharmacy within the busy Wokingham Medical Centre, it was imperative that the service offering was cutting edge. Introduction of a BD Rowa automation solution ensured that the pharmacy were able to manage the large patient volume, whilst always providing a safe, efficient service.


The most important aspect of the robot aided dispensing is the level of accuracy that is achieved. We are a busy pharmacy and through experience we have seen that the busier pharmacies get, the more likely mistakes can occur. We see the robot as an enabler, allowing staff to spend more time checking the clinical appropriateness of the prescription.
