CD CABINET

It is a legal requirement that controlled drugs are stored in the
appropriate cabinet. The CD cabinet needs to be organised at all times
and access limited to designated members of the team.
Please ensure that:

• The CD cabinet is kept locked during the day with the Responsible
Pharmacist informed when the cabinet needs to be opened

• Stock is tidy and organised with stock in baskets or banded
together if possible

• Out-of-date and returned CDs are segregated and the appropriate
person is informed so they can be destroyed
• Dispensed medication should be in a clear bag with the script in
the bag
• Cash is only stored in the cash safe and not the CD cabinet
