Ward level discharge and supply of 'over-labelled' medicines
The use of ward level pharmacy teams, mobile dispensing units (MDU seen below) and
'over-labelled' medicines has been associated with a reduction in the number of
prescriptions sent to the dispensary in main pharmacy department.
Each patient whose take home meds are supplied via MDU saves at least an hour in their
discharge journey with medication supplies completed at ward level.
