This course helps facilitate an appropriate skill-mix that will enhance the pharmaceutical care of the patient and use the knowledge and skills of both technicians and pharmacists more effectively. The scope of the course is to accredit technicians to carry out the final accuracy check of dispensed items clinically screened by the pharmacist. It does not encompass aseptic dispensing, self checking of own dispensing or pre-packing. The framework is dependent upon Standard Operating Procedures being in place (for accuracy checking which define the scope of what both a learner and fully qualified ACPT can and cannot check against a clinically screened prescription).
