<p>The aim of this module, also suitable as an independent short course, is to provide the underpinning knowledge to enable pharmacy personnel to carry out the final accuracy check of dispensed items with confidence. The content is appropriate for the checking role and provides underpinning knowledge for the individuals to understand the risks of inaccurate dispensing and their likely causes, the circumstances leading to error and ways to minimise risk. The role of protocols and procedures will be described and the student will be supported in developing the communication skills necessary for reducing the risk of errors in the pharmacy and at the point of administration.  The module is recognised for ‘ACT’ across NHS employers in Yorkshire and Humber.</p>
