Members of the pharmacy team follow written instructions to help them work safely and effectively. They make a record of their mistakes and discuss them so that they can learn from them. The pharmacy largely keeps the records that are needed by law. And its team members take appropriate action to safeguard people that are vulnerable.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
The pharmacy has enough suitably skilled team members to safely provide its services. And it provides support to members of the team who are on training courses. Members of the team feel comfortable to raise concerns and provide feedback.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The environment is suitable for the provision of pharmacy services. The pharmacy premises are clean and large enough to manage the workload safely. A consultation room is available for people to have a private conversation with a member of the team.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy provides the services it offers in a safe manner. The pharmacy gets its medicines and devices from appropriate sources. Its team members carry out sufficient checks to make sure they are safe to supply to people, but a record is not always made which means some medicine stock may be overlooked. Members of the team give advice to people when supplying higher-risk medicines to help make sure they are appropriate for people to use.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
