The pharmacy advertises how people can provide feedback about its services. And its team members understand how to act on any feedback provided. Pharmacy team members understand how to help safeguard potentially vulnerable people. They share learning following mistakes they make during the dispensing process. And they act with care to reduce the risk of similar mistakes occurring.

It supports the learning needs of its team members through ongoing training and structured feedback. The pharmacy encourages feedback from its team members.
