Day 3: We were very excited to meet this wonderful team in the dispensary. We did like the counterchecking measures put in place to minimize dispensing errors @LTHPharmacy @LTHT_SIM @LeedsHospitals

[Kitale/Leeds AMS partnership @KLASP_CwPAMS]

Day 2: It was really exciting to observe the dedication of the staff in OPAT to ensure patients don't miss their antimicrobials. The idea of using 24 hour infusion pumps to support discharge from hospital is fantastic! @LeedsHospitals @LTHT_SIM @LTHPharmacy

[LTHT Specialty & Integrated Medicine @LTHT_SIM]
