Prescriptions from hospital clinic/discharge

What to expect when you have been to a hospital clinic or been discharged from a hospital ward:

• Prescriptions for any immediately necessary or urgent medication (required within 28 days of outpatient assessment) should be provided by the hospital clinic.
• Any specialist medication should be initiated by the hospital clinic, we MAY be able to take over prescribing depending on the nature of the drug.
• You should received 28 days of medication following hospital admission.
• If you have a test undertaken by a hospital clinic/admission e.g. urine test, swab and need antibiotics - the hospital need to arrange this prescription for you.
