Pharmacy staff at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley gave the Princess Royal an insight into pharmacy practice when she attended the hospital's official opening ceremony last month.

During the visit, the Princess Royal was shown how the pharmacy department’s dispensing robots were helping to reduce risks to patients. She was also shown the department’s new labelling system, which uses yellow dispensing labels to improve readability.
