Responsible Pharmacist

Responsible Pharmacist

As of this month (October 2009) the responsible pharmacist act is now in place.

The Royal Pharmacuitcal Society of Great Britain classify responsible pharmacist as the pharmacist appointed by the employer, who is responsible for securing the safe and effective running of the pharmacy.

The responsible pharmacist continues to be responsible for securing the safe and effective running of the pharmacy during any periods of absence.


If there is more than one pharmacist working in the pharmacy at any one time, only one can be the responsible pharmacist. A pharmacist cannot be the responsible pharmacist for more than one pharmacy at any one time.
