| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding a critical analysis of the dispensing process at a general hospital pharmacy. Introduction: The dispensing process is often underestimated; if the process fails the consequences can be significant. Mater Dei Hospital (MDH) is Malta’s major acute public general hospital, and it incorporates the main pharmacy on the Island. On average 400 prescriptions are filled daily from Mater Dei Out-Patient Pharmacy. It is manned by 5 pharmacists and 6 pharmacy technicians. Aims: •To identify strengths and weaknesses within the present out-patient dispensing system at a public general hospital •To recommend alternative processes for a more user-friendly system. |
