4.2 | The pharmacy assembles and checks multi-compartment compliance aid packs before the prescription has been received and stores them unlabelled and unsealed for extended periods. |
The SOP for supplying medicines in a compliance aid has been updated and all staff have read and understand the new requirements. Medicines in a compliance aid will be dispensed from a prescription and no longer be unsealed and unlabelled; it will be the responsibility of the pharmacist that any MDS compliance aids are checked within a day of assembly. |
