As and part registered of our role, we pharmacy set the standards premises in which England, govern the Scotland practice and of Wales. pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Standards of conduct, ethics and performance 3
4 heading This document sets out the standards of conduct, ethics and performance that pharmacy professionals must follow. Pharmacy professionals are pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who are registered with us. It is important that you meet our standards and that you are able to practise safely and effectively. Your conduct will be judged against the standards and failure to comply could put your registration at risk. If someone raises concerns about you we will consider these standards when deciding if we need to take any action. The work of a pharmacy professional can take many forms and you may work in different settings, including clinical practice, education, research and industry. 4 Standards of conduct, ethics and performance
5 heading If you are a pharmacy professional these standards apply to you, even if you do not treat, care for or interact directly with patients and the public. As well as standards of conduct, ethics and performance, we publish other standards which you need to consider together with these standards. To help you to understand these standards, we have published a glossary of terms. We will also publish guidance to advise you on what you will need to do to meet these standards. The glossary and our guidance can be found on our website at Standards of conduct, ethics and performance 5
6 heading The seven principles As a pharmacy professional, you must: 1. Make patients your first concern 2. Use your professional judgement in the interests of patients and the public 3. Show respect for others 4. Encourage patients and the public to participate in decisions about their care 5. Develop your professional knowledge and competence 6. Be honest and trustworthy 7. Take responsibility for your working practices. 6 Standards of conduct, ethics and performance
7 heading Meeting the standards We do not dictate how you should meet our standards. Each standard can normally be met in more than one way and the way in which you meet our standards may change over time. The standards are of equal importance. You are professionally accountable for your practice. This means that you are responsible for what you do or do not do, no matter what advice or direction your manager or another professional gives you. You must use your professional judgement when deciding on a course of action and you should use our standards as a basis when making those decisions. You may be faced with conflicting professional or legal responsibilities. In these circumstances you must consider all possible courses of action and the risks and benefits associated with each one to decide what is in the best interests of patients and the public. Standards of conduct, ethics and performance 7
8 1 Make patients your first concern You must: The care, well-being and safety of patients are at the heart of professional practice. They must always be your first concern. Even if you do not have direct contact with patients your decisions or behaviour can still affect their care or safety. 1.1 Make sure the services you provide are safe and of acceptable quality 1.2 Take action to protect the well-being of patients and the public 1.3 Promote the health of patients and the public 1.4 Get all the information you require to assess a person s needs in order to give the appropriate treatment and care 1.5 If you need to, refer patients to other health or social-care professionals, or to other relevant organisations 1.6 Do your best to provide medicines and other professional services safely and when patients need them 1.7 Be satisfied that patients or their carers know how to use their medicines 1.8 Keep full and accurate records of the professional services you provide in a clear and legible form 1.9 Make sure you have access to the facilities, equipment and resources you need to provide your professional services safely and effectively 1.10 Organise regular reviews, audits and risk assessments to protect patient and public safety and to improve your professional services. 8 Standards of conduct, ethics and performance
9 2 Use your professional judgement in the interests of patients and the public You must: Balancing the needs of individuals with those of society as a whole is essential to professional practice. 2.1 Consider and act in the best interests of individual patients and the public 2.2 Make sure that your professional judgement is not affected by personal or organisational interests, incentives, targets or similar measures 2.3 Make the best use of the resources available to you 2.4 Be prepared to challenge the judgement of your colleagues and other professionals if you have reason to believe that their decisions could affect the safety or care of others 2.5 In an emergency, consider all available options and do your best to provide care and reduce risks to patients and the public. Standards of conduct, ethics and performance 9

Make sure your views about a person s lifestyle, religion or belief, race, gender reassignment, identity, sex and sexual orientation, age, disability, marital status or any other factors, do not affect how you provide your professional services 3.4 Make sure that if your religious or moral beliefs prevent you from providing a service, you tell the relevant people or authorities and refer patients and the public to other providers 3.5 Respect and protect people s dignity and privacy. Take all reasonable steps to prevent accidental disclosure or unauthorised access to confidential information.

Standards of conduct, ethics and performance 11
12 4 Encourage patients and the public to participate in decisions about their care You must: Patients and the public have a right to be involved in decisions about their treatment and care. This needs effective communication. You should encourage patients and the public to work in partnership with you and others to manage their needs. 4.1 Communicate effectively with patients and the public and take reasonable steps to meet their communication needs 4.2 Work in partnership with patients and the public, their carers and other professionals to manage their treatment and care. Listen to patients and the public and respect their choices 4.3 Explain the options available to patients and the public, including the risks and benefits, to help them make informed decisions. Make sure the information you give is impartial, relevant and up to date 4.4 Respect a person s right to refuse to receive a professional service 4.5 Make sure that information is appropriately shared with other health and socialcare professionals involved in the care of the patient 4.6 Consider and take steps, when possible, to address those factors that may be preventing or deterring patients from getting or taking their treatment 4.7 If a person cannot legally make decisions about their care, make sure that any service you provide is in line with the appropriate legal requirements. 12 Standards of conduct, ethics and performance

Standards of conduct, ethics and performance 13
14 6 Be honest and trustworthy You must: Patients and the public put their trust in pharmacy professionals. You must behave in a way that justifies this trust and maintains the reputation of your profession. 6.1 Act with honesty and integrity to maintain public trust and confidence in your profession 6.2 Not abuse your professional position or exploit the vulnerability or lack of knowledge of others 6.3 Avoid conflicts of interest and declare any personal or professional interests you have. Do not ask for or accept gifts, rewards or hospitality that may affect, or be seen to affect, your professional judgement 6.4 Be accurate and impartial when you teach and when you provide or publish information.

16 7 Take responsibility for your working practices You must: Working in a team is an important part of professional practice and relies on respect, co-operation and communication between colleagues from your own and other professions.
