An audit of Controlled Drugs has found some order are not being counter-signed correctly.
So, a reminder, if orders are not completed correctly, Pharmacy will not be able to dispense them.
Our learning: The Ward/Departmental Manager/Matron must countersign the name, signature and PIN of the Nurse/Midwife/ODP ordering the CDs in the CD Order Book.
Pharmacy cannot dispense drugs that are not correctly checked and countersigned.
