NVQ 3 questions.

[katgwi67]

Hi all , just a quickie, I understand the need for SOPs , everyone knows who is doing what and when , minimising mistakes etc, but what does it mean when it asks the importance of following pharmacy PROTOCOLS? Is this not the same thing as following sops?
any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Yes. SOPs are designed to avoid any blame being put on the pharmacy owners. Ie anything that happens is the fault of the RP.
