The onsite dispensing pharmacy at Calvary St Luke’s Hospital will provide discharged patients with a short supply of their prescribed medications. HPS Pharmacies can also fill prescriptions for public patients that have been written by a doctor associated with the hospital.
HPS’ experienced team of Pharmacists provide hospital patients with a range of pharmacy services, including medication supply, clinical monitoring and patient counselling and education.
Due to varying patient needs and individual Health Fund conditions, HPS Pharmacies asks that you have available all Pension, Safety Net and Veterans Affairs entitlement cards, as well as records of dispensed medication, to ensure the correct medication charges are applied. Additionally, upon discharge from the hospital, please visit the pharmacy to pay your account.
As a service to you, a pharmacist review of any medication changes that have occurred whist an inpatient can be arranged through the unit manager.
Please note: All discharge medication will be billed by the pharmacist to you direct.
