Consultation on changes to pharmacy supervision

max
MariaPCC 11 December 2023

The government is considering changes to medicine supervision requirements in pharmacies. Currently, the preparation, assembly, dispensing, sale and supply of pharmacy and prescription only medicines can only be carried out by, or under the supervision of, a pharmacist. As registered and regulated health professionals, pharmacy technicians are qualified to work without direct supervision. These proposals would allow pharmacists to safely delegate more allowing them to spend more time delivering patient-facing clinical services – in turn freeing up more appointments in general practice.
