1.7 | The shared use of NHS smartcards and lack of written procedures does not provide assurance that the pharmacy appropriately protects people’s information. |
Applications for Smartcards have been made for all staff at King Street. A review is underway regarding out Data Protection and Security toolkit in the pharmacy. We will inform you once this has been fully completed and implemented with all staff. |

4.3 | Some pharmacy-only medicines are located in ‘self-selection’ areas, so the pharmacy cannot provide assurance that sales are being appropriately controlled. |
We have an SOP in place which has been read and signed by all members of staff at King Street. This Sop covers OTC Sales & the Sales of Medicine Protocol for all staff to follow. |
