Medication

When the doctor decides that you can go home, there will be a short delay whilst Pharmacy dispenses your prescription. It is usually best not to arrange transport, especially taxis, until your medication is available on the ward. You will be given one week’s supply to take home, for which there is no charge.

You will be given a letter for your family doctor with relevant information regarding your treatment. The consultant in charge of your care will also write to your family doctor.
