Perceptions of providers
“Resource to hand on ward; if have
query – instant resource and very
rapid response” (Consultant)
“Educational from both sides”
(Intern)
“Saves time” (Registrar)

have so many things to do,
medicines may be overlooked”
(Intern)
“Great job satisfaction, great for
suggestions to be acted upon and
to be embraced by the team”

“Drug reconciliation really helpful.
Huge benefit to have pre-admission
medication within 12 hours, decreased
potential for error” (Consultant)
“Issues are dealt with more
promptly as the pharmacist is
on the ward round” (Intern)
