| 1.6 | The pharmacy does not carry out regular checks of its higher-risk medicines. And it doesn’t maintain accurate records of these, including records of medicines that have expired. So the pharmacy cannot show how these medicines are suitably managed in line with legal requirements. |
Team to increase checks of high-risk medicines, including at times of dispensing. Expired medicines will be recorded and destroyed straight away to avoid any confusions and pile up of expired/patient returns. Training to begin to move from paper-form to electronic records of high-risk medicines. |
