Oxford Road Pharmacy (1115951) - Improvement action plan

The responsible pharmacist record is not completed accurately with all the required information showing who is responsible for the securing the safe and effective running of the pharmacy at any time.

The responsible pharmacist record will be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure it is completed accurately for every day. The responsible pharmacist will be clearly recorded at the start and end of each shift, including all required details, to demonstrate continuous accountability for the safe and effective running of the pharmacy. Staff will be reminded of the legal requirement to complete the record correctly, and regular checks will be carried out by the pharmacy manager to ensure ongoing compliance.

Some medicines are not stored securely in line with requirements or in original packaging so they are at risk of degrading, loss of information such as expiry date and batch number, identification errors and tampering.

All medicines will be stored securely and in their original packaging in line with storage requirements. Any medicines currently stored incorrectly will be immediately identified and corrected. Staff will be reminded of correct storage procedures to prevent loss of critical information such as expiry dates and batch numbers and to reduce the risk of degradation, identification errors, or tampering. Routine checks will be carried out by the responsible person to ensure ongoing compliance.
