To Take Home Medications (TTHs)
Process
Upon discharge, you will receive any new medicines or a new supply if any changes have been made to your existing prescription. You will have an opportunity to address any questions or concerns about your medicines with a member of the team before you leave.
The Pharmacy Process The prescriber will complete a prescription for your take home medicines and a letter explaining your admission A pharmacist will check the accuracy and safety of your discharge prescription A pharmacy technician will then check your supply and order any new medicines or re-supply any of your usual medicines if you do not have any more at home We will not routinely supply medicines that are able to be bought over the counter The prescription will then be sent to our pharmacy dispensary The medicines are assembled, labelled and checked and then sent back to the ward The nurse will go through your medicines before you leave to make sure you have full supply and have the chance to ask any further questions
We aim to turn around all discharge prescriptions within 2 hours however more complex prescriptions may take longer.
