Don't forget to sign out as Responsible Pharmacist

So there we have it-forgetting to sign out at the end of the day when you go home is a criminal offence under Responsible Pharmacist legislation. Inspectors from the RPSGB will take a pragmatic line, according to an interview in Chemist & Druggist, but does that make you sleep easy at night? After the Elizabeth Lee case and all that followed, this is potentially a step that could give a pharmacist a criminal record!

What do we do about it? I don't know, but will be e-mailing the one member of RPSGB Council whom I know and asking her to raise this matter urgently and see if a review of the legislation can be brought about to make it much more sensible. I didn't join this profession to be criminalised for something so apparently trivial, did you?
