AS EVERYONE in pharmacy knows, from 01 Feb 2018 all combination medicines containing codeine will be rescheduled as Prescription Only Medicines.
Managing the rescheduling of combination medicines containing codeine is challenging, but this can be minimised though careful planning.
The Guild and PSA have developed a series of five modules to assist pharmacy assistants to understand the change to scheduling of these medicines.
The two organisations have collaborated to develop the package of materials - designed to support pharmacists and pharmacy assistants.
One of the education modules, "Scheduling changes: understanding the business impacts" is for all pharmacy assistants, and includes information about:
* Assisting customers
* Ordering medicines and products
* Displaying products on shelves, and
* Promoting your pharmacy's products and services.
