Robina Hospital on the Gold
Coast has installed a medicine
dispensing robotic system.
Dubbed Max, the robot reduces
the time taken to dispense

Gold Coast Health Director of
Pharmacy Liz Coombes said the
introduction of Max was important
for improving patient safety.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 08 Sep 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 08 Sep 15
