Medication Delays in Hospitals Meeting
July 13, 2010

"I waited hours for my medicines to come so that I could be discharged. Someone
else could have been in my bed ages earlier."

Many people have told us about long delays in them being discharged from hospital when all they were waiting for was medication. In fact, this was one of the top priorities for LINk members when we asked people for their priorities back in February. Sheffield LINk is investigating this issue and is holding our first Discussion Forum on this subject on Wednesday 21st July from 11:30-1:30 at a city centre venue.

Sheffield LINk has organised a meeting with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals to look at this problem and to discuss their plans to reduce delays. You wil have a chance to hear from the Chief Pharmacist, the Deputy Medical Director and the Discharge Coordinator.

To get involved in this discussion, please contact us to book your place and receive details of the venue.

Wednesday 21 July, 11:30 -13:30. city centre venue.
