              I’ve seen firsthand the immense pressure the
              healthcare sector is under. Staffing shortages,
              recruitment difficulties, and the constant struggle to
              find time for essential tasks have placed significant
              strain on healthcare providers. Having spoken to PSUK

              members at study days, conferences, and in meetings,
              it’s clear that the pressure they face is evident.
              Furthermore, advancements in the processes involved in dispensing
              medications, a critical component of patient care have not kept paced
              with the growth in NHS items, this is contributing to the pressure felt by
              dispensary teams.

              Current legislation compounds these issues by restricting the assembly
              of medicines across different legal entities , which could potentially offer
              dispensing practices efficiencies. Dispensaries are forced to dispense
              within their own bricks-and-mortar locations, creating inefficiencies
              and bottlenecks. This rigid framework hinders the ability to optimise
              resources and streamline operations, ultimately impacting the quality
              and speed of patient care.

              PSUK is at the forefront of addressing these issues by implementing
              innovative solutions designed to streamline the dispensing process and
              enhance efficiency.




              The Golden Tote solution

              In response to these mounting challenges, we
              have developed innovative solutions like Golden
              Tote to streamline the dispensing process and
              enhance efficiency. Golden Tote utilises barcode
              technology for the assembly of medicines,
              improving efficiency ensuring quicker, more
              accurate dispensing. This not only supports you
              in managing your workloads but also improves
              patient outcomes by reducing wait times and
              ensuring the timely delivery of medications
