Pursuant to sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Pharmacy Regulations, 2014 under the Pharmacy Act, 2012, routine pharmacy inspections/site visits ensure compliance with the Act, Regulations, By-Laws, and standards of operation or pharmacy practice established by NLPB and promote quality and safe pharmacy practice. During the on-site or virtual visit, the pharmacist-in-charge will work together with the Community or Hospital Practice Consultant, as applicable, to ensure regulatory requirements and standards are being met, while also providing an opportunity for questions.
Below, you can find some templates and tools that are used and shared throughout the process.
