Preparing Unlicensed Medicines

The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) has published guidance for pharmacies which outlines the key points that need to be considered by the pharmacy owner and superintendent pharmacist in any pharmacy where unlicensed medicines are prepared.

It applies to the preparation of methadone for supply in accordance with a prescription (either for immediate supply in accordance with the prescription, or initially as stock to be supplied from the pharmacy, by or under the supervision of a pharmacist, against a prescription at a later time).

The guidance can be accessed by following this link.

NHS England Pharmacy Audit

Essex LPC has negotiated an extension with NHS England Essex Area Team to enable contractors to fulfil their contractual obligation by completing this audit.  We would encourage you to comply with the request and submit the audit as soon as possible.  Access to the covering letter is here and the data collection spreadsheet is here.  This spreadsheet has been amended so data can easily be inputted.
