       Risks involved in the implementation of Pharmacist-led prescript
       ion services?

       What are the risks involved in the implementation of
       Pharmacist-led prescription services?
       Pharmacists work under a SLA requiring them to work within their
       limits and competence. Under the SLA all pharmacists have a
       responsibility to report all clinical and non-clinical accidents
       or incidents promptly. All pharmacists are responsible for
       ensuring that they have professional indemnity suitable for the
       range of work they are undertaking and are responsible for
       ensuring that they have authorisation for making changes to
       prescribing records within the practice. This may be by written
       agreement or GP signature for specific audits.
       Overarching risk management is coordinated by the head of
       medicines management, prescribing advisors and lead pharmacists
       who are responsible for supporting the pharmacists, managing the
       service, monitoring and agreeing the work programme. They are
       also responsible for reporting and developing the service in
       conjunction with the CCG Board, CCG localities and the medicines
       management committees.
