Dutch term

politheek

Dutch to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals IT equipment for a hospital
Opname/ontslag –en poliklinische medicaties worden via elektronisch berichtenverkeer uitgewisseld met de stadsapotheek cq. de politheek.

Would politheek be something along the lines of an "outpatient pharmacy"? This seems to be a unique Dutch concept as I can't find an equivalent in English (or I just don't know where to look).

TIA

hosiptal outpatient pharmacy

The city hospiital where I grew up (USA) had a hospital pharmacy, for outpatients, and I suppose they were fairly common at the time. Whether they still are I can't say.

Judging from what I see with googling, it's actually a relatively new development in NL.

"politheek"

Politheek is a recent invention. Even the word is invented, probably contracted from ‘polikliniek’ (=kliniek voor alles) and ‘apotheek’. I'd probably not translate it: "politheek" or Anglicize it to "polithecary." The abbreviation c.q. is used incorrectly, by the way. It should simply read 'of.'

neutral Tina Vonhof (X) : I would not leave it as is without explanation, nor would I anglicize it - that is meaningless.
