Abstract
Same day emergency care (SDEC) is an increasingly important part of urgent care delivery in secondary care. This service evaluation examined the role of the pharmacy service on a busy SDEC unit over a 3 week period. A total of 634 patients were seen on the unit and 513 pharmacy interventions were made. Patients were taking a mean number of 6.7 medicines and the average age was 59.3. The most common medication type pharmacists intervened in were anticoagulants. To meet the demands of SDEC service, the pharmacy team is crucial for maintaining medication safety and ensuring patient flow through hospital pathways.
