Dispensing Accuracy & Safety
4 weeks · 0 milestones
Demonstrate safe dispensing practice in a supervised setting. Proof requires a documented dispensing accuracy check conducted under supervision of a registered pharmacist, covering at least 10 prescription items. Each item must document: prescribed vs dispensed drug, dose, form, quantity, and label accuracy check result. Supervisor sign-off on the dispensing accuracy log is required. Peer verification is NOT accepted — registered pharmacist sign-off is required. This outcome requires pharmacy placement access. The proof documents supervised practice development, not a record of unsupervised dispensing.

3 milestones
Under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist, complete a structured dispensing accuracy training programme covering: label reading and verification, prescription interpretation (handwritten and electronic), product selection from stock, quantity calculation and counting, patient counselling information requirements, and final accuracy check procedures. Document your training: the sessions attended, topics covered, and the registered pharmacist supervising each session.
Proof required
Submit a training log covering all sessions (dates, topics, supervising pharmacist name and GPhC registration number for each session), and written confirmation from the supervising pharmacist that the training was completed satisfactorily. All patient or prescription identifiers in any session examples must be anonymised.
What gets checked
- Training log covers all named topics — label reading, prescription interpretation, product selection, quantity calculation, patient counselling, and final check.
- Supervising pharmacist's GPhC (or equivalent) registration number appears in the log.
- Confirmation letter specifies the number of supervised dispensing sessions and the pharmacist's assessment.
