Safe use of consultation rooms: COVID-19

As restrictions relating to COVID-19 are relaxed, many community pharmacies will be considering how services, which may have been paused at the height of the pandemic, can be reintroduced, and how this can be done safely.

The Community Pharmacy Patient Safety Group (CPPSG) have developed a resource to support pharmacy teams considering how they can minimise risk when using consultations rooms.

It includes feedback from pharmacy teams and takes into account the processes introduced by other healthcare providers. It should be considered alongside other risk assessments that have been undertaken.
