Top Tips We Have Identified

Here are some top tips we have identified on recent visits…

Schedule 3 and 4 CD Prescriptions

• Are all prescriptions in your retrieval area containing
Schedule 3 and 4 CDs that do not require safe custody
flagged with a CD sticker highlighting the 28-day
validity period? If these prescriptions are not highlighted,
it may increase the risk that patients are supplied with a
CD prescription beyond its 28-day period of validity.
Delivery Staff

• New delivery staff appointed after 1 October 2020
st
should undergo GPhC approved training for their
role. Buttercups provide a Support Staff Course for
Pharmacy Delivery Drivers - Delivery Drivers Course.
Cyclizine Tablets

• There are known reports of cyclizine misuse due to its
sedative and euphoric nature. Have you seen the recent
GPhC Patient Safety Spotlight feature? Visit Patient
safety spotlight: risks of cyclizine misuse and promoting
safe provision for patients | General Pharmaceutical
Council (pharmacyregulation.org) for more information.
