Last month, Omnicell hosted a webinar in partnership with P3pharmacy. We were joined by a brilliant panel which included pharmacy thought leaders and pharmacy owners who are already benefiting from robotics and automation in their pharmacy. The panel shared their thoughts and answered audience questions on the impact of automation and robotics on time and cost savings, stock management and patient safety.

Panel members included:

•    Aniruddh Patel - Pharmacy Owner at Savages Pharmacy
•    Mimi Lau - Chief Operating Officer and Superintendent Pharmacist at Mr. Pickford's
•    John Hagan – Managing Director and Pharmacy Owner at Hagan Pharmacy
•    Cyrus Hodivala - Sales Director UK & Ireland – Medicines Adherence at Omnicell

“"If you want to free up your staff time to be more clinical and patient focused then you need to take some of the administrative work away from staff, as saying no to prescriptions and no because of dispensing volume aren’t viable options. Some of the administrative work needs to be delegated - review the figures, how long is this work taking your staff and the effort involved. If automation seems a practical option then look at the Omnicell VBM and other automated solutions that match your pharmacy needs”.
