Please summarise your career over the last 3 years

In the last 3 years, I have been working in the community pharmacy, where I finished the course and registered as a Pharmacy Technician. Once I was GPHC registered I moved forward in the hospital, more exactly in a private hospital. Now, I would like to gain more experience in a NHS hospital.

Have you ever been disciplined, suspended, or are you currently under investigation by an NHS Trust, GPHC or other employer (including other agencies) – if yes, please give details

NO

Why have you chosen to register with The Locum Agency? *

Because it is a well known agency.

Tell me about a recent occasion when you were under pressure and handled it successfully. - What was the situation? - What actions did you take? - What was the outcome?

Delivery of a medication has been delayed. So I had to call the supplier to make sure will be sent as soon as possible. The outcome was positive as patient managed to collect the medication before leaving the country.

What is your understanding of the Medicines Act 1968?

The Medicines Act 1968 is a UK law that regulates the manufacturer and supply of medicines. It establishes the framework for the licensing, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products.

You are asked to prescribe medication which is not clearly documented within the patients notes and medical record. What should you do?

I would seek advice from a senior medical professional to make sure that the prescription aligns with the patient's medical needs.

What steps would you take, going forward if you become aware of an incident or complaint, which you were involved or implicated in?

I would acknowledge the issue, review the details, reflect on actions, and make sure I would communicate transparently.
It is important to learn from mistakes and improve. Apologize if appropriate and implement the new changes.

Please outline your understanding of Clinical Governance.

Clinical governance refers to the system through which healthcare organizations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of patient care, safeguarding high standards, and ensuring a focus on patient safety.

Thinking about a recent difficult situation you’ve had with patient’s relatives – How did you handle this and the outcome

A recent situation with a patient's relatives was when they tried to get a prescription-only medication without having a prescription. The person was demanding and stressed as the patient needed. I tried to help in the process of obtaining a prescription by calling the GP myself. Also, I made sure I expressed empathy and understanding and acted on the concerns.
