Standards met


The pharmacy identifies and manages the risks associated with its services. And it keeps most of the records it needs to by law. The pharmacy has written procedures that the team follows. But they have not been recently reviewed or signed by all the team. This means there is a risk that team members may not understand or follow correct procedures. The pharmacy has adequate arrangements to protect people’s private information. The pharmacy team members respond appropriately when errors happen. And they discuss what happened and act to prevent future mistakes. But they don’t record all errors or review them.
