| 1.1 | The pharmacy's standard operating procedures (SOPs) are not reviewed when they are supposed to. And so, they may not reflect current practice. The team members do not use baskets to segregate different prescriptions and medicines. And this has led to an error. |
SOPs have been updated. Baskets ARE being used. |

| 4.3 | The pharmacy does not check and record the fridge temperature ranges for all the fridges it uses to store medicines. So, it can’t be certain its medicines are always fit for purpose. |
2 extra fridge thermometers have been purchased and put into use. Daily temperatures are recorded. |
