If the rpsgb can create a law that prevents pharmacists from dispensing and checking at the same time i think all this unnecessary and silly errors will be minimised,am a pharmacist myself and i know what it is like to dispense and check by oneself, this is very unfair to community pharmacist who are being treated as technicians rather than pharmacist. Treating a pharmacist as a criminal because of dispensing error is really unfair and inhuman, please can something be done? since the Elizabeth story i have almost lost confidence as am too cautious now and it takes me double the time i spent checking sc ripts before this whole story.very sad indeed.
