I do empathise with the guy from Lloyds , but I believe this case will set an unwanted precedence, apparently there is a similar case in the offing.

Its imperitive that pharmacists are absolutely sure about the doses they are dispensing, there was a case back in the 70's , both the GP & P'cist were culpable..its just the way things are and I think they'll get worse particularly with remote supervision...if one is not sure its always best to refer at least you would have confirmed the dose and logged it accordingly -clinical governance systems will come in handy if a p'cist is involved in a negligence case such as the dexamethasone...so if an irate GP says he wants an overdose, document then dispense (?)
