|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6 | The pharmacy does not always record details of issued private prescriptions within required timeframes and therefore records are not accurately maintained as required. |
PMR system has now been adapted to record the private prescription register. This will commence from 10/09/24 and means that no prescriptions will be added to the backlog. The pharmacy will open an additional day a week to only process the backlog of prescriptions, and this will continue until the backlog has gone. |

| 1.1 | The pharmacy does not identify and manage all the risks for the provision of medicines at a distance. And it does not have documented risk assessments to ensure dispensing is safe and effective. |
A Risk Assessment will be completed for every medication provided in the past year and then going forward for any new additional medication before accepting to supply. Complete a Risk Assessment for the complete service provided by Doctors Dispensing Services including the dispensing process. |

| 1.2 | The pharmacy does not sufficiently review the safety and quality of its service. It does not suitably audit its dispensing to ensure it makes appropriate supplies. |
Complete an audit of the dispensing service and review annually ongoing, or if an error occurs whichever is more recent. |
