  11. New Hospital Overview

  12. How do we plan to deliver an effective medicines supply chain? Decentralised automation and pharmacy service Linked with e-prescribing and administration Supplier delivery direct to automation? Joint venture with private sector Contingency Plan

  13. Working with commercial partners The 4 tests: • Is it in the interest of patients? • Is it consistent with local/national strategies? • Is it VFM? • Is it consistent with public sector values?

  14. Current Patient Journey

  15. In-Patient Supply New Hospital Medication prescribed electronically Professionally checked by pharmacist and supply authorised if needed Medication collected from automation module

  16. Out-Patient Supply New Hospital Options: • Automated “in house” pharmacy in New Hospital • Private sector run pharmacy • Electronic transmission of prescriptions (ETP) to private sector supplier • Homecare services

  17. Pharmacy Stores Options: • Some retained stores function • Direct delivery by supply partner to clinical area or automation units • UHB Warehouse -WDL

Challenges: Supply chain issues • Availability of products through a single supplier • Ensuring Value for Money • Prescribers and key stakeholders as integral part of decision making • Response to emergencies • Non robot inventory • Medicines governance arrangements: • JIT - notification of shortages • interchangeability of products • potential for medication errors • critical medicines – stock holding • cold chain maintenance

  22. Summary • NHS continues to undergo significant transition. • Changing the existing pharmacy delivery model will be challenging. • This will require a resilient corporate and clinical governance framework to ensure delivery of optimal organisational and patient benefits.
