| 4.3 | The pharmacy doesn’t manage and store all its medicines appropriately. This includes the pharmacy team members not always recording details such as batch number and expiry dates after transferring stock from the original pack to another container. This means they won't know if it is suitable to supply. |
Staff have been instructed to destroy any stock that is not identifiable by batch number and expiry dates, and the practice of transferring stock from original packs must cease with immediate effect |

| 4.2 | The pharmacy does not provide all its services in a way to ensure they are safe. The pharmacy has inadequate space for the preparation of multi-compartment compliance packs. And the space it does have is not adequately managed. This includes the team stacking packs inappropriately and working on untidy and cluttered benches. This creates a significant risk of error. |
Staff have been spoken to and are addressing the issues concerned. Staff are in the process of tidying all areas to make them safe for the intended purpose. They must not take on additional trays, until such time as the work space can be improved and managed efficiently and safely. |
