Running into the festive period can be a tough time for pharmacies, but this is the time to make sure that you are ready for the New Year ahead.
Providing pharmacy services at a distance, particularly online, carries different risks to those in face-to-face settings
Do you have risk assessments in place for all of your key business activities? If they are already in place, have they been reviewed lately? Are they still correct for the processes within your business or has anything changed?

Do you have risk assessments in place for all of the above? They are some of the key risk assessments that should be in place (there will be others that are needed to cover other aspects of your business model, e.g. cold chain, controlled drugs). We have a new Risk Assessment training course available here at PCL, so if you require some training in how to conduct a risk assessment or would like some refresher training on risk assessments then please contact us.
