What to expect
When you are discharged from hospital you will be given a small quantity of medication to last until your follow up appointment with your GP or specialist, usually a 3 day supply.
It is important that you organise a follow up appointment promptly so that you do not run out of medication.
Please note: It’s important that you bring your current medications and prescriptions to the hospital if you have a planned admission or arrive as an emergency patient; this assists the doctors and pharmacists to reconcile your medications for accuracy during your hospital stay.
You can contact us on (02) 5103 6265.
We are open Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 5pm with a weekend service for inpatients.
