I have extensive experience with various pharmaceutical dispensing systems, including automated and manual systems. In my previous role, I was responsible for operating and maintaining an automated dispensing unit, which significantly improved accuracy and efficiency. I am proficient in troubleshooting common issues and ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.

Accuracy is paramount in my work. I follow a strict double-checking protocol, where I verify each prescription against the original order and then have a colleague review my work. Additionally, I stay updated on the latest guidelines and best practices to minimize errors. I also utilize barcode scanning technology to further enhance accuracy.

When a prescription is unclear or incomplete, I immediately contact the prescribing physician to clarify the details. I document all communications and ensure that the updated prescription is accurate before proceeding. This proactive approach helps prevent errors and ensures patient safety.

I have managed inventory in both retail and hospital settings. My approach includes regular audits, maintaining proper stock levels, and using inventory management software to track usage and reorder supplies. I also ensure that expired medications are promptly removed and disposed of according to regulations.

During busy shifts, I prioritize tasks based on urgency and patient needs. I start with critical prescriptions that require immediate attention and then move on to routine orders. I also collaborate with my team to ensure that no task is overlooked. Time management and effective communication are key to maintaining efficiency.
