Prescription Transfer<br />
Objectives<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> is designed to ensure that when handing out dispensed items the customers<br />
receive the dispensed products intended for their use with sufficient information to enable<br />
effective use.<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> will ensure:<br />
• Dispensed items are handed out promptly<br />
• Dispensed items are given to the person for whom they are intended<br />
• Appropriate information is given to enable the customer to use the product<br />
effectively<br />
• The name and address of the person collecting the medication is captured<br />
• Prescriptions are issued or placed in dedicated area for issue<br />
Scope<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> will include the transfer of dispensed prescription items to the customer or their<br />
representative.<br />
This <strong>SOP</strong> will not cover the delivery of medicines to a patient’s home, a nursing home or<br />
the delivery of oxygen.<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 />
