Inpatient Medication Management

We ensure that all hospital inpatients receive the correct medications during their stay via clinical pharmacist service. Patients are advised to bring their current medications in original packaging upon admission. Our team coordinates with healthcare providers to supply any additional or forgotten medicines, with costs varying based on individual health fund coverage.

On-Call Pharmacist

We have an on call pharmacist available 24 hours for clinical and urgent needs. The service is provided free of charge for all clinical staff at St John of God Bunbury Hospital and local GP’s and specialists. Please contact the pharmacy during business hours if you would like the on call number for your reference.

If you are a doctor working at St John of God Bunbury Hospital and require the service after hours, please refer to the internal telephone directory, switch or contact the Nurse Coordinator for the number.

Digital Health Integration

In alignment with national digital health initiatives, we actively participate in the My Health Record system, ensuring seamless and secure sharing of patient medication information among authorized healthcare providers.

Education and Training

Committed to advancing practice, we offer educational programs and training for pharmacy students and professionals, fostering continuous professional development and excellence in patient care.

At SouthWest Hospital Pharmacy, our mission is to provide excellence in care and drive innovation in hospital pharmacy, ensuring safe, integrated and efficient care for every patient.

As a specialist pharmacy, we keep high cost injectable medicines on hand to make it easy for you to manage your treatment.
In some cases, you may be required to have your medication via infusion at your home, local GP practice or hospital. In these circumstances it may also be critical to maintain the cold chain of the medicine to maintain its integrity and we can assist.

Oral medicines

We also keep a large range of high cost oral medicines on hand.

Specialised Reminder Service

Access to these medicines via the Benefits Scheme can be difficult to manage at times. In some cases, the PBS requires you to have all of your current repeats dispensed before your doctor can write a new script. We can help you manage your scripts and repeats via SMS reminders or through an app on your smart phone. It’s easy and quick to do and we’ll help you set it up in store or over the phone. Our expertise in this area means some specialists have us inform them directly when their patient’s scripts run out.
