Staged Supply
There are certain guidelines for Pharmacists to follow when it comes to staged supply of medication. What is staged supply you might ask? It is when medication is prescribed to be dispensed in intervals such as weekly supply. Often Pharmacists will utilise Webster or blister packs to supply the medication. Pharmacists are expected to align their dispensing of medication with the National Drug Strategy and support the National Mental Health Strategy. The National Drug Strategy aims to reduce the incidence of harmful drug use or misuse of medication and the National Mental Health Strategy supports people with mental health matters such as illness and medication to manage this. Additionally, staged supply also helps consumers who are homeless or in a shelter where medication can be accessed by other people. Staged supply can help consumers adhere to medication prescriptions on dosage and when to take. Medication that is often used in staged supply includes antipsychotics, antidepressants, sedatives, psychostimulants, hypnotics and opioid analgesics. Pharmacists need to maintain confidentiality and manage patient’s information with sensitivity and for Pharmacist jobs, Locum Co hires the best Pharmacists who understand the nature of dispensing medication with safety as a priority.
