Request
I am writing on behalf of O.R.S Hydration Tablets, which contains a great-tasting and scientifically balanced formula to help adults and children hydrate faster.
Based on the World Health Organization guidelines for oral rehydration solutions, O.R.S. Hydration tablets may be prescribed by clinicians and reimbursed by the NHS.
I would like to understand what volume of Dioralyte sachets is currently prescribed, dispensed, and used within the hospital.
I would also like to know the contact details of the hospital's Chief Pharmacist and Procurement Pharmacist. I would prefer to receive the requested information in electronic format via email.
Response
During the 24/25 financial year we ordered 8 packs of Dioralyte Oral rehydration sachets for our community bedded hospital units.
Chief Pharmacist: Arfana Butt
We do not have a procurement pharmacist or an inhouse pharmacy
