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 />
