| 1.1 | The pharmacy is not identifying and managing some risks associated with its services as failed under the relevant standards and Principles. Most of the pharmacy's standard operating procedures are missing, they have not been kept at the pharmacy and there is no evidence that the team has read them |
I have finally reviewed, updated our SOP’s to reflect FMD. The SOP’s are now at the pharmacy located in an SOP ring binder file. I have sent the inspector an overall covering page that lists these SOP’s, and their next review date on 3.11.19. All of us that have not yet done so will read, and sign the relevant SOP’s by the timescale allowed. |
