The new robot, a tandem machine, named ‘Bert’ and ‘Ernie’, is more efficient, more reliable, and able to hold much more stock – about 20,000 packs of medications, increased from 12,000.
The ribbon was cut on the robot at a special ceremony on 23 May, attended by colleagues past and present from the Pharmacy, Executive Team, Estates and Facilities, IT, as well as contractors GD Smy and robot developers BD Rowa.
Former Chief Pharmacist Jo Ringer cut the ribbon, while a special robot-themed cake and other goodies were enjoyed by all.
