Description

Description:

The Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) is one of the largest health providers in Australia. We provide a comprehensive range of specialist medical, surgical and mental health services, as well as rehabilitation, aged care, specialist clinics and community programs. We are a designated state-wide provider for services such as trauma, and we lead centres of excellence for tertiary services in several key specialties including neurosciences, nephrology, cardiology and virtual health.

We are surrounded by a Parkville Precinct of brilliant thinkers, and we are constantly collaborating to set new benchmarks in health excellence - benchmarks that impact across the globe. While the work we do takes us in inspiring recent directions, we lead with kindness that defines a better standard of care.

Our 11,000 people embody who we are and what we stand for. Our reputation for caring for all Melburnians is as essential to who we are as any scientific breakthrough we make. We’re here when it matters most, and we’ll continue to be the first to speak out for our diverse community’s wellbeing.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital pharmacy department provides a future-focused pharmacy service providing innovative, patient-centred care. The pharmacy department provides medication management services to all areas of the hospital. These are delivered by teams of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who are here to make sure patients are provided with the correct medication and information.

Our clinical pharmacists work in wards and departments to review and discuss patient’s medications, doses, side effects and any allergies that patients might have. They also provide advice and support to doctors,



nurses and other members of the interdisciplinary heath care team about medication to optimise your care. Our pharmacists also counsel patients on their medications and answer any questions or concerns that might arise.
