Regulatory Notices
The PSI issues Regulatory Notices to highlight important pharmacy practice and compliance matters that require the immediate attention of superintendent pharmacists and pharmacy owners in their role overseeing the safe operation of the pharmacy business. Regulatory Notices highlight an issue of significant concern that require attention, and possible action, at the governance level in each retail pharmacy business.
This notice focusses on the appropriate storage of pharmacy-only medicines in a retail pharmacy business, in line with the amended Regulation of Retail Pharmacy Businesses Regulations (2008). Pharmacy owners and superintendent pharmacists are directed to review their pharmacy’s storage and access arrangements, and to take action to comply with the legislation if that is not already the case.
