QCPP Website

The 2001 Review introduced three new Professional Practice Standards. These were "Internet Pharmacy", "Distance Dispensing" and "Domiciliary Medication Management Review".

These new Standards are considered mandatory if the service is provided by a particular pharmacy. A mandatory Standard means that all of the Actions Required that sit behind the Standard must be met for the Standard to be met, and accreditation cannot be granted unless the Standard is met. An additional requirement for Distance Dispensing and Internet Pharmacy is that all accredited pharmacies that provided either of these services needed to be independently assessed in order to maintain their accreditation.

As well as the new Professional Practice Standards, two other new Standards were introduced into the Pharmacy Manual. These were "Ongoing Compliance with Standards" (a Standard to assist with the maintenance of the QCPP within the pharmacy), and "Reporting to Pharmacy Owners" (a Standard which lays out the requirements for reporting to pharmacy owners, where the proprietor or partner does not work in the pharmacy for at least 20 hours a week).

In addition, a new Team Standard, "Medicare Number Collection and Recording" was introduced.

As well as the new Standards, a number of changes were made to both the Team Standards and Pharmacy Standards, as well as the Reference Manual.
