The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) has said its pharmacy has returned to normal service levels after disruptions caused by the introduction of a new digital system.

Director of Clinical and Diagnostic Services, Dr Corey Forde, told the QEH Pulse Radio programme that the technical problems experienced during the rollout have been resolved and that patients are once again receiving prescriptions at the same rate as before the transition:

“At present, in terms of the pharmacy, we’re back up and going at the rate that we were going before. I’m happy to say that. It really required us to do a few strategic moves, which we did pretty quickly once we figured what was going on internally with the new system.”
