Principle 2. Staff
The pharmacy has sufficient team members to manage its workload.
Principle 3. Premises
The pharmacy keeps its premises safe, secure, and appropriately maintained. The pharmacy makes changes to help keep staff and people using the pharmacy safe during the pandemic.
Principle 4. Services, including medicines management
The pharmacy offers healthcare services which are adequately managed and are accessible to people. The pharmacy gets its medicines and medical devices from reputable sources. It mainly stores them safely and it takes the right actions if medicines or devices are not safe to use to protect people’s health and wellbeing. The pharmacy routinely speaks to people who are taking higher-risk medicines, but records of these conversations are not always made. So it is harder for the pharmacy to demonstrate that people always receive important information about their medicines.
Principle 5. Equipment and facilities
The pharmacy has access to the appropriate equipment and facilities to provide the services it offers safely.
