The Pharmacy Department at Chesterfield Royal Hospital is innovative, progressive and well respected both locally and nationally.

​

Our dedicated team is committed to providing safe and effective medication management to our patients. We work closely with healthcare professionals in clinical areas to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes and patient safety. We provide expert, clinical advice to healthcare professionals and the public to support people get the most out of their medicines. We also ensure medicines are prescribed in a cost-effective manner in compliance with guidelines and our formulary.

 

Pharmacy is not just about dispensing medicines (although this is a very important element!). Our department consists of an inpatient dispensary, an outpatient dispensary, pharmacy stores/distribution and even a production unit for medicines. We have a variety of staff members who all have an essential role in ensuring the department runs smoothly. Members of the pharmacy team include clinical pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, assistant technical officers (ATOs), support staff and managerial and administrative roles.
