Whether or not there is a grievance compliant ongoing it still does not alter that fact that, if your facts are right, this pharmacist is commiting fraud. And, since there is a criminal activity taking place you have a duty to report it.
Firstly, MAKE SURE YOUR FACTS ARE RIGHT. Please give us examples of:
(a) What the doctor wrote on the prescription
(b) What was actually given out to the patient
(c) What the pharmacist endorsed on the prescription (i.e. what he/she wrote in the left hand column)
As a trainee pharmaceutical assistant you will not be responsible for and of the fraud (I'm assuming you haven't endorsed prescriptions or done anything else untoward).
(N.B. This is just advice, I'm no pharmaceutical lawyer. Get proper legal advice.)
