Negligence on the part of pharmacists can have devastating consequences for patients. In the UK, there have been a number of high-profile cases in which patients have been harmed or even killed as a result of pharmacy negligence.
Most cases of pharmacy negligence involve errors in the dispensing of medication. This can include giving a patient the wrong medication, the wrong dose of medication, or failing to properly warn a patient about potential side effects. In some cases, pharmacists may also fail to properly monitor a patient’s condition and make necessary changes to their treatment plan.
There are a number of factors that can contribute to pharmacy negligence. These include heavy workloads, staff shortages, and inadequate training. In some cases, pharmacists may be under pressure from drug companies to sell certain medications or promote certain products.
