Here are some comments from some of our Hospital customers...
'At Crosshouse, we wanted to release staff to improve patient services, free up space and minimise errors, so with their technical support, proven track record and value for money, we chose ARX.'
Michele Caldwell, Director of Pharmacy, NHS Ayrshire and Arran
'We needed to automate our pharmacy to ensure the dispensing process was as safe as we could make it, and with ARX's package of product capability, customer support and economics, it was a clear choice.'
Richard Cattell, Clinical and Specialist Support Services and Head of Pharmacy, Dudley Group of Hospitals
'The time saved by having the robot has helped us to implement other initiatives to improve services. It has also acted as a catalyst to change the pharmacy into a more patient focused workplace.'
Carol Farrow, Chief Pharmacist, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital
'Since the ARX robot was installed, we have managed to release a large number of staff on to the wards, improving medicines management and increasing patient safety.'
Brian Smith, Chief Pharmacist, Royal Bolton Hospital
'Our main objectives for automation were to reduce picking errors, improve the space utilisation within the department, and to expand our medicines management services. With the ARX system we have realised all of these.'
Christina McCrea, Principal Pharmacist, Ysbyty Gwynedd Hospital, Bangor
'We decided to automate in order to redefine roles, provide medicine management at ward level and to reduce our stock holding. With ARX, all our objectives were achieved along with a vast improvement in job satisfaction.'
Dr Sean O'Hare, Head of Pharmacy, Belfast Trust
'Since the installation of the robot we have achieved a large one-off stock saving as well as continuing to reduce wastage. The accurate stock control and monitoring of expiry dates have become invaluable to us!'
Caroline Sutton, Dispensary Manager, Llandough Hospital, Wales
'Installing the ARX robot has allowed us to reorganise the department and greatly improve our skills mix. The work environment is hugely improved and job satification has greatly increased.'
Maggie Otter, Chief Pharmacist, Hillingdon Hospital, London
'Our triple machine and ProLog easily supplies our busy dispensary and ward box service. The machine holds our required packs and supplies them to meet the demands of our busy service.'
Amanda Blessington, Pharmacy Automation Project Manager, Blackpool Victoria Hospital
'Due to our space restrictions on site, we opted to have the smaller, one arm machine. This hasn't been a barrier to realising the benefits of reduction in patient waiting times.'
Maxine Webb, Computer Manager, Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust
'Getting a new automated pharmacy can be a daunting task but ARX were helpful, professional and friendly. They made sure we were kept informed every step of the way resulting in a smooth implementation.'
Niall Ferguson, Chief Pharmacist, Milton Keynes Hospital
'The best way to incorporate automation into your pharmacy is to plan, research and prepare. ARX gave us all the support, advice and time we needed to successfully install our new robot.'
John Quinn, Chief Pharmacist, Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust
