7-day working
Since Pharmacy 7 day working began in Sep 2018:
75% increase in Total Pharmacy activity at the
weekend
70% increase in the number of discharge prescriptions
processed
Percentage of scripts checked at ward level increasing
each quarter (this was zero before 7 day working
introduced).
This initiative has led to an increase patient safety and resolution of medication related
queries throughout the weekend and an increased number of patients receiving a clinical
pharmacy review at weekends.
