Manual Update 1 - January 2012

These updates include minor corrections from when the Manual was first distributed in June 2011, or updates to the requirements consistent with changes to PPI Program Guidelines.

The updated documents were distributed by mail to all accredited pharmacies early January 2012. On receipt of these, please ensure old versions of documents are removed from the pharmacy’s manual and replaced with the new versions as provided in the update pack. If the pack has not yet arrived you can access the same documents below.

The impact or action required column below outlines the key revisions to the manual that a pharmacy will need to consider when reviewing their operations to align with QCPP and PPI requirements. The new T1A Legal and Professional Obligations Declaration (v2.1) comes into effect as of 1 January 2012. As T2G Clinical Interventions Checklist is new it will not become mandatory for assessment until 1 March 2012. However, you can choose to be assessed against this immediately if you are ready before this date. As the other updates listed are minor, or necessary to meet PPI Requirements they will be assessable immediately.
