Stone + Partners were engaged to produce drawings and oversee the enabling works and phasing of the scheme, to enable seamless removal of the existing dispensing robot and installation of the new robot including overhead conveyor chutes, a walk-in fridge and temporary storage container to house supplies during the works. The phasing was carefully planned to ensure the least disruption to the operation of the hospital Pharmacy and minimise shut-down periods.
The project engaged closely with the pharmacy staff and the contractor Harris Bros & Collard as well as the suppliers of the dispensing robot (BD) and the specialist furniture (Medspace) to ensure a seamless integration of these elements for the successful operation of the robot.
