GPhC consultation on 'pharmacy team'

摘要

After only seven years, the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) appears to be using its powers under the Pharmacy Order 2010 to provide guidance for everyone whose activities affect the services provided by registrants (pharmacists and technicians). This guidance is designed to elaborate on the existing standards for registered pharmacies, particularly those obligations directed at owners. So perhaps we can feel a little more confident that the GPhC finally acknowledges that the quality and safety of services from a community pharmacy are not all under the control, and hence accountability, of the pharmacist on duty - not even if he or she is designated the responsible pharmacist.
