[sezza]

hi can anyone help me doing unit 2 and it askes me to issue stock to three different places any advice please thanks sezza

I did:
1) Return stock to a supplier
2) Delivery to a Patients Home
3) Delivery to a Care Home
You could also send stock to another branch/Pharmacy.

Are you doing the NPA course? If so, have you tried reading the "pink" pages at the back of the standards booklet?

hi tinx25388 thx for your reply but we dont do any homes and please can you tell me what is the standard booklet thx sezza

[tinx25388]

Have you got a book/booklet that details all of the performance criteria, ranges and knowledge requirements? That is the standards. On the NPA course, there is a section towards the back of the booklet which has a pink bit at the side, that gives more ideas/examples etc

Returning to warehouse:
(PCs 1,3,5,7,8,9)
- Unpacking delivery, found that item was incorrect/too short dated/too much (whatever the problem is) etc
- As the stock not damaged, can return it
- Filled out returns book (or whatever you use to send stock back)
- Put somewhere that is not likely to cause trip hazard or checked weight of the trays to make sure not too heavy etc (something Health & Safety related) until collected by wholesaler

Attach as your evidence a copy of the returns book


Delivery to Patient: (choose one with an out of stock item)
(PCs 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
- Talk through how you dispense item eg select from front shelf (mention about stock rotation) check against Rx, check it is in date etc
- Find an item out of stock, mention how you deal with this (eg generate an owing, call patient to explain)
- Make sure once Pharmacist has checked that items are put in correct bag/tray (eg carrier bag rather than paper bag as easier for driver to carry etc)
- Fill out any delivery records, make sure that correct address on bag label
- Hand to driver/put with deliveries for driver ready to be taken to patients home

Attach copy of prescription, owings slip and any delivery paperwork

Hope that helps
