Working for our organisation
We are a progressive department and are keen to embrace innovative digital ideas. Following significant investment, our pharmacy department has led on innovations in automated drug storage and administration at our brand new hospital.

We have recently moved our inpatient pharmacy services to the brand new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital and are implementing plans to provide a seven day service to the Trust.
