A pilot scheme allowing hospital inpatients to take responsibility for administering their own drugs has been well received by patients and nurses.
Requesting patients to bring in the drugs they are on at the time of admission has resulted in savings for the hospital.
On admission, patients are issued with drugs for the whole of their expected hospital stay, and for two weeks after discharge. This has cut down on delays at the time of discharge.
