Default Re: NVQ 3 Pharmacy Services

Originally I wrote that when we received a Rx for an extemp. we phoned the specials department and ordered it. However, apparently that is not acceptable and after reading the guidance pack it does say:

Element 4 does require 3 reports to cover a, b and f. If you do not do any extemp. preparations, your pharmacist can set you examples to do as a simulation. Stating that Alliance policy says to send extemp. prepared items to the lab. will not cover this element.

Apart from the antibiotic the other 2 are going to have to be simulations. I don't understand how I can write about how I make something up when I have no idea how it's made up in the first place.

For the antibiotic all I've got is a couple of lines, hardly a report. I'm not sure whether that is going to be enough.

In the guidance pack it gives examples of dilutions such as rosewater, peppermint water or chloroform water from concentrate. I haven't a clue as to how they are diluted, I've never even seen these products
