The Accuracy Checking Course for Dispensing Assistants allows an appropriate skill-mix that will enhance the pharmaceutical care of the patient and utilise the knowledge and skills of the dispensing assistants more effectively.

Following a short correspondence course the candidate needs to complete a log of 1000 items which have been checked by the candidate and then further checked by a designated facilitator who can be a checking technician or a pharmacist. This must be returned to Buttercups Training together with a reflective log of any errors made. The facilitator must complete a minimum of two reviews of the candidate's progress.

Topics covered include:

The scope of the course is to train dispensers to carry out the final check of listed dispensed items clinically approved by a pharmacist. It does not encompass aseptic dispensing, self checking or pre-packing. The framework is dependent upon Standard Operating Procedures being in place.
