4.3 | The pharmacy does not have an adequate expiry date routine. This could increase the risk of people getting medicine which is past its 'use-by date'. It does not always store medicines in accordance with relevant legislation. This makes it harder to show that they are kept securely. |
The staff at the store have been retrained on the SOPs governing the safe storage of controlled drugs. A strict regime of date expiry checking has been put into place where stock will be checked every month and records kept in line with the date checking SOPs. A complete date check of the store will be completed by 30/11/2024. |
