Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) guidance on ethical, professional decision making in the COVID-19 pandemic
Written by admin on Friday 1st May 2020
RPS have published professional guidance to support pharmacists and registered pharmacy technicians faced with making difficult decisions linked to the exceptional impact of COVID-19
 |
The guidance can be used to support colleagues involved in strategic planning, or front-line roles and is for use by pharmacy professionals in all settings. It provides helpful reminders about the process of reasoned decision making, the national pandemic ethical framework and some considerations about specific areas of importance to pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians should be reassured that should decisions be called into question at a later date, they will be judged according to the circumstances at the time of the decision, not with the benefit of hindsight. |
The guidance is supported by the General Pharmaceutical Council, the Pharmaceutical Society NI and the Association of Pharmacy Technicians UK.
