Our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are dedicated to ensuring safe, timely and effective drug therapy for all types of patient care. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are part of your health care team and work closely with you and the other members of your team to ensure you get the best care possible. We work with you and your doctor to make sure you know your drug therapy options and receive the medication that’s right for you.
UHN has outpatient pharmacies at a number of our hospital sites. We also provide inpatient pharmacy services throughout your stay at UHN. If you wish to speak to an inpatient pharmacist during your inpatient stay, please ask a member of your health care team. A pharmacist can meet with you to review your medications and answer any questions you may have.
