Supply and dispensing of medicines

 

The supply of medicines to staff in CHS has usually been provided by an acute or mental health hospital/trust under a contract or SLA. This route is also used for dispensed medicines for patients in community hospitals. In some areas these services are now obtained from a local community pharmacy under a contract or SLA. Any services obtained must meet required standards and ensure cost-effective use of pharmaceuticals. Contracts, SLAs and so on should be monitored by the lead CHS pharmacist. There should be written policies that comply with the safe and secure handling of medicines. Procedures for the ordering, supply and safe delivery of pharmaceuticals to community premises must be in place. Stock lists and levels need to be agreed between the health professionals and the pharmacy team. They must be available, as a basis for ordering and stock control in every clinic and community site, and safe and secure storage must be provided. There may be a trend to seek independent providers for supply services in a similar way to the provision to mental health trusts and for outpatient dispensing.
