We ran a training programme for pharmacists and branch and warehouse staff on the correct handling of medicines that need refrigeration.
Practical sessions covered reading temperature loggers, packing cool boxes, and the steps to follow during a power cut or cold-room failure.
Topics covered
- Receiving refrigerated shipments and checking the temperature record.
- Arranging fridges so products do not freeze.
- The emergency plan when cooling fails.
- Recording and reporting any temperature excursion.
