In my opinion dosette boxes, when used inappropriately, limit patient’s ability to take charge of their own health and medicines because they often just rely on what the pharmacy put in them but don’t know what they actually take. I see this regularly when doing meds recs.

10 reasons why your pharmacist might be speedwalking: 1. They’re late for their disp slot 2. Pod tube station is about to be switched off 3. Pod tube station is broken down so now they have to run to disp 4. They have late TTOs in their hand and pharmacy is about to close

@mspharm_ 100% agree, which is why I love being an ED pharmacist. Most interventions are prospective and the high acuity makes it more challenging but rewarding at same time. There are many roles that still need to happen on back end wards eg meds op, ED/AMU are necessarily best place
