| 1.1 | The pharmacy does not routinely document risk assessments (RAs) for some services it provides. And it does not adequately set out its processes in writing to assess and manage the risks involved in providing the prescribing service. Such as consultation questionnaires which are specific to each condition which the prescriber treats and include reasons the supply was refused. And which ask for consent to share information with the person's regular GP to independently verify the person's medical information. So there is a risk the pharmacy could supply medicines inappropriately based on false information and the person's GP may be unaware of treatment they obtain elsewhere. |
Patient questionnaires provided for different treatments and conditions and including risk assessment, the questionnaire, consent for the treatment and consent to share with GP and refusal to supply treatment |
