The design and construction of a central radiopharmacy.
Following an inspection by the Medicines Control Agency (MCA) of the existing radiopharmacy, it was necessary to design and build a new facility at the Western Infirmary to supply radiopharmaceuticals for patient use throughout the West of Scotland. This is one of the largest radiopharmacies in Europe, supplying some 40,000 patient doses per year prepared using both closed and open procedures. The design parameters and construction details of the new facility are presented.
