Pharmacy firsts at Southampton

Firsts are second nature to Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust and especially to our Pharmacy team. We’re involved in a broad range of multidisciplinary work and we encourage all our people to publish work. We endeavour to have a strong presence at national and international conferences. This allows our people to present and network, to share ideas and best practice.

As a result of our innovation we have many firsts to our name, including:

  • The first consultant posts.
  • The first hospital with a formulary.
  • The first director of pharmacy at the Department of Health.
  • The first e-referral system for microbiology.
  • The first pharmacist-developed microbiology ward rounds.
