Located on the ground floor of the main Hospital building, our Pharmacists are here to help you and give you advice. The Pharmacy is staffed by a fully qualified and friendly team of pharmacists and technicians who work in partnership with the Consultants, Resident Medical Officers and nursing staff to ensure a safe, efficient and comprehensive service.

Prescription delivery service

A postal and courier service is available for the delivery of prescriptions. Simply ask your doctor or the medical secretary to send your prescription to us. We will contact you to arrange payment and delivery.

Our on-call pharmacy service will be operating during this time and all Outpatient prescriptions can be collected from any pharmacy.

Coming into the Hospital and medication on discharge

We encourage our patients to bring their own medicines if being admitted as you may be charged for these medicines.

We wish to advise patients that most insurance companies do not cover medicines to take home on discharge and you will therefore receive a bill.

Quality Assurance

At St John & St Elizabeth Hospital we have a robust governance framework that is committed to maintaining the hospital’s high standards. In March 2019 the hospital was awarded CHKS accreditation, confirming we achieved international best practice standards.

In ‘High Quality Care for All’ Lord Darzi explained that quality exists in three domains: patient safety, effectiveness of care and patient experience. At our hospital we would like to echo this statement by aiming to reduce avoidable accidents, continuing to maintain our low infection rates (an exemplary performance), monitoring patient reported outcomes and through the continued analysis patient satisfaction surveys in terms of compassion, dignity and respect in a clean, safe and well managed environment.

Accessing Your Health Records

As a patient, accessing your health records can be done by submitting a subject access request. If you are a relative or carer of one of our patients and you wish to access their medical records, you must have consent from the patient to submit a request. Let us guide you through the process of submitting a subject request.

 

Confidentiality

We take personal information and confidentiality very seriously. Health records can only be accessed on a patient’s behalf with evidential consent on a subject access request form. We respect that it is your right to request a second opinion at any time, and if you feel this is necessary, you should speak to your Chief Nurse. In compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998, information will only be shared with a third party with your permission.
