Principle 4. Services, including medicines management

Standards met

​The pharmacy obtains its medicines from reputable sources and stores most of its medicines appropriately. But it has no containers to store and dispose of some medicines that could be harmful to the environment. In general, the pharmacy provides its services safely and effectively. But, team members don't always highlight prescriptions that require extra advice or record information. This makes it difficult for them to show that appropriate advice has been provided when these medicines are supplied. And, the pharmacy does not always provide medicine leaflets. This means that people may not have all the information they need to take their medicines safely.
