Luton Pharmacy Technicians
The pharmacy technicians receive referrals from health or care professionals to support patients with their medications. If you are a patient or family member of someone who would like support from us, please speak to your GP or other health professional who will be able to refer you.
We support patients remotely with:
- addressing the issues for stock piling of medications
- providing coping strategies for non compliance such as providing visual aids, inhaler techniques, compliance aids etc
- liaising with carers/GPs/community pharmacy
