Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 February 2004 to hear the following applications
for restoration and inquiries:
Monday 23 February
1. An application for restoration from a person whose name has been removed
from the Register.
2. An inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist
proprietor, which includes allegations that failure to ensure that there was
a pharmacist in personal control at the pharmacy and the supply of prescription
only medicines in the absence of a pharmacist, may amount to misconduct.
Tuesday 24 February
3. A new and resumed inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society
against a pharmacist. The new inquiry concerns allegations that two dispensing
errors and failure to record the errors appropriately in an error log book
may amount to misconduct. The resumed inquiry, first heard by the Committee
in September 2002 and adjourned for 12 months, concerns the supply of 535ml
of Sucralfate liquid without the authority of a prescription, the supply
of Percutol 2 per cent ointment against a prescription calling for GTN 0.2
per cent ointment and breaches of the legislation relating to the supply
of prescription only medicines.
4. An inquiry into a pharmacist convicted of 15 counts of false accounting.
Wednesday 25 February
5. An inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist,
which includes allegations that the consumption of alcohol while in charge
of the pharmacy and being on duty when unfit to be in charge of the pharmacy,
may amount to misconduct.
6. An inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against a pharmacist,
which alleges that altering the quantity of a medicine prescribed for the pharmacist
on two prescriptions, thereby procuring a greater quantity of the medicine
than had been authorised by the general practitioner, may amount to misconduct.
Thursday 26 February
7. Day 2 of an inquiry into a complaint by the Council of the Society against
a pharmacist proprietor and a locum pharmacist employed by him, which includes
allegations that both pharmacists failed to be truthful when interviewed
by the Society’s inspectors and obstructed the Society’s investigation
into a complaint concerning an extemporaneously prepared product at the pharmacy.
The inquiry was part heard on 19 November 2003.
