Picking, Labelling and Assembly<br />
Objectives<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> is designed to ensure the safe and efficient labelling and assembly of prescribed<br />
items.<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> will ensure:<br />
• Safe working systems<br />
• The barcoded prescription is checked against the paper WP10SS when producing<br />
labels<br />
• All prescribed items are correctly labelled<br />
• All items selected are those which are prescribed<br />
• The correct quantity is supplied<br />
• The relevant information is supplied<br />
• The products supplied have sufficient shelf-life, such that they remain in date during<br />
the prescribed period of use<br />
• The ‘Dispensed By’ box is marked by the person dispensing the medication to<br />
provide an audit trail<br />
Scope<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> will include the picking, labelling and assembly of all prescriptions, except those for<br />
oxygen, extemporaneous preparation, special order or any monitored dosage system.<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> will not cover the assembly of signed orders.<br />
Responsibility<br />
Members of staff responsible for this process should be listed in the Record of Competence.<br />
Only those members of staff listed are to be considered competent to carry out this<br />
procedure. No other member of staff should be asked to carry out any part of this process.<br />
Review<br />
The <strong>SOP</strong> will be reviewed annually, when there are any changes to legislation affecting the<br />
process, or in the event of any change of staff, or any increase or decrease in the<br />
competence level of the staff. The <strong>SOP</strong> should also be reviewed following a critical incident.<br />
The responsibility for reviewing the <strong>SOP</strong> rests with the Pharmacy Manager (Pharmacist), or<br />
in their absence, the Pharmacist or Pharmacy Manager (non-Pharmacist), Retail Sales Manger<br />
or Supervisor. In the absence of these members of staff, the Area Manager will be<br />
responsible for review.<br />
If as a result of the review any changes to the <strong>SOP</strong> are deemed necessary, these must be<br />
approved by the Superintendent’s Department. For any changes to the <strong>SOP</strong> an application<br />
must be submitted, in writing, explaining in detail the changes deemed necessary and the<br />
reasoning behind these changes. The application should be sent by post to the<br />
Superintendent’s Department, at Sapphire Court.<br />
