Treated Pharmacy (9010946) - Improvement action plan

The pharmacy does not seek assurance that the prescribing service verifies the information entered onto the online consultation before supplying medicines for weight loss and other conditions which require ongoing monitoring, such as asthma. Or that the prescribing service informs the patient's regular prescriber or GP of every supply of medicines for conditions which require ongoing monitoring.

We will conduct an internal review of which conditions require ongoing monitoring and consider which medicines require correspondence with a regular prescriber and the frequency of that correspondence. We will also review which information entered onto the online consultation may need additional verification in order to assure dispensing pharmacists. And changes deemed necessary as a result of the reviews will be implemented into the pharmacy systems.
