Accuracy Check<br />
Objectives<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> is designed to ensure that dispensed prescriptions have been labelled and<br />
assembled accurately before being transferred to the customer.<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> will:<br />
• Provide quality assurance in the dispensing process<br />
• Ensure that any labelling errors are identified<br />
• Ensure that any errors in product selection are identified<br />
• Ensure that the correct quantity has been dispensed<br />
• Ensure that the products supplied are not out of date<br />
• Ensure the ‘Checked By’ box is initialled to provide an audit trail<br />
Scope<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> will cover all <strong>2DRx</strong> NHS prescriptions.<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). In the absence of<br />
these members of staff, the Area Manager will be 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 />
Handy Hints<br />
All prescription forms should be endorsed, however this endorsement should also be<br />
checked as part of the Accuracy Check procedure.<br />
