Pharmacy

The inpatient Pharmacy Department prepares medication for inpatients and patients being discharged.

The Main Pharmacy Department is located on the ground floor of the main hospital building.

The primary role of the inpatient Pharmacy Department is to care for inpatients of Weston General Hospital, through ensuring the best use of medicines, and providing information about medicines to both patients and to the professionals who treat them.

We do not supply medication for outpatients. We work closely with the Lloyds Outpatient Pharmacy, which is situated on the ground floor, who dispense medication for hospital outpatients. Neither pharmacy is able to dispense prescriptions written by GPs.
