Review of Numark Standard Operating Procedures – December 2024
Review of Numark Standard Operating Procedures – December 2024
Numark has over 120 downloadable SOPs available for members to download.
Each SOP defines the processes and procedures within the pharmacy. Numark SOPs are word documents allowing members to amend the content to ensure it accurately reflects the practice within their pharmacy.
Each SOP includes a document information section as shown below. This section provides an audit trail for each SOP.
| Document title: | SOP Title completed by Numark |
| Document reference: | Document reference left blank but could be completed by pharmacy |
| Prepared by: | Name of Numark member of staff who prepared/reviewed SOP |
| Authorised by: | Name of Pharmacy member of staff who authorised SOP |
| Signature: | Of above authoriser |
| Date of preparation: | Date SOP written |
| Effective from: | Date SOP becomes active within the pharmacy |
| Version: | Numark version control |
| Date of next review: | Date for Numark review of SOP |
| Version | Effective Date | Author | Notes |
| Numark version | Date review effective from | Name of person who wrote/amended SOP | Reason for review or amendment |
During 2024 Numark Information Services will be reviewing each of the SOPs to ensure they comply with current legislation and professional guidance.
To support members with identifying the SOPs that have been reviewed the SOP version number will be incorporated into the SOP title and will be clearly visible from the SOP download list. This will allow Numark members to compare the SOP currently in use within their pharmacy and the version available for download from NumarkNet.
Members can ensure that their audit trail is consistent with the Numark version control by adopting a decimal version e.g. for Numark version 1.0, the member version would become 1.1 with the name of the pharmacy team member adapting the SOP recorded against this version.
The following SOPs have been reviewed and replaced with updated versions in December 2024
- CD5-Recording concerns over CD management
- Dispensing private prescriptions
- Yellow Fever Vaccination Service
