How often are Medication and Safety Self-Assessments required according to SCPP Regulatory Bylaws?

Medication and Safety Self-Assessments are crucial for maintaining high standards in pharmacy practice and patient safety. According to the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacy Professionals (SCPP) Regulatory Bylaws, these assessments are mandated every two years. This biennial requirement ensures that pharmacies regularly evaluate their practices and address any areas that may need improvement. The two-year interval strikes a balance between providing sufficient time for pharmacies to implement changes based on previous assessments and ensuring that practices remain current with evolving regulations, standards, and best practices in medication safety. This frequency also supports a continuous commitment to quality care and the ongoing education of pharmacy staff regarding medication management and safety protocols.
