Pharmacy Team Turns Surgery Recovery Around | Glasgow News

A patient’s knee replacement journey turned into a triumph of care thanks to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s new pharmacy-led program. Robert Ormiston, who underwent surgery, credits the specialized perioperative team for easing his anxiety and boosting his confidence — they called him days before surgery to review meds, answer questions, and even prep discharge prescriptions. This proactive approach is already paying off: fewer hospital readmissions, less GP visits, shorter stays, and happier patients. Led by pharmacist Kieran Fitzpatrick, the initiative proves that informed, personalized support before surgery can transform recovery — one reassuring conversation at a time.
