Wonderful pharmacist

Posted By caringnk96

"Wonderful pharmacist"

About: Armagh / District Nursing Craigavon Area Hospital / Blossom Ward (Paediatrics)

(as a service user),

I was really struggling to give my daughter medication that was in tablet form. After chatting to a fantastic pharmacist in the Blossom Ward in Craigavon Hospital, Sarah went above and beyond to source a liquid that would be easier for my daughter to take. I have seen such great changes in my daughter since she has been able to take her medicine without a daily battle.

Thank you for letting us know about this. As doctors and nurses we can see the daily benefits of having a pharmacist on the paediatric ward to ensure medicines safety and timely dispensing of medication but it's wonderful and so important to hear about your daughter's experience and how Sarah was able to help her to be able to take the medicine she needed.
