| 1.1 | The pharmacy does not adequately review the risks associated with its prescribing service or audit prescribing to monitor effectiveness. |
We are in the process of signing up to a software system in which consultations can be recorded digitally using the NHS medicine database. Forms and processes are also available – in which GP letters are generated following the consultation. Audits can also be carried out using the software. |
