Pharmacy
Peninsula Health has pharmacy departments at Frankston Hospital, The Mornington Centre, Golf Links Rd and Rosebud Hospital. You can contact the pharmacy on 9784 7602.
Patients Own Medication
Patients are encouraged to bring in their own medication to assist in accurate medication reconcilliation on admission. Any medication belonging to a patient is labelled and locked away during the inpatient stay, but is returned to the patient at discharge. If regular medication has been stopped during the admission, the pharmacist will talk to the patient about what they would like done with the medication that is no longer required.
GP’s can play a large part in assisting accurate medication reconcilliation by completing accurate referrals with a current medication list.
Pharmacy Updates
Electronic Pharmacy Updates are companions to the Electronic Discharge Summaries sent from Peninsula Health. The purpose of the updates is to provide GP’s with an accurate discharge medication list. They are completed when a pharmacist sees an error in the medication list that has already been sent to the GP in the discharge summary. If you receive a Pharmacy Update, please refer to it for the discharge medication list.
Breast Care Nurses
Peninsula Health employs a team of Breast Care Nurses to provide support, information and referrals to patients and their families throughout the breast cancer journey. Treatment plans are discussed at a fortnightly Breast Multidisciplinary Team meeting and GPs are encouraged to attend. Contact the Breast Care Coordinator for more information on 9784 7777 – ext 7307. Breast Care Services at Peninsula Health (21 KB)
