Care Homes for Older People Page 3 of 8 What we found: The pharmacist inspection lasted just over two hours. The reason for the inspection was to check compliance with the requirements left at the last inspection on 17th December 2009 regarding the safe handling of medicines. Five peoples medicines were looked at, together with their Medicine Administration Record (MAR) charts and care plans. Two nurses were spoken with during the inspection, one of which was the deputy manager who was present throughout the inspection. The nursing staff had worked hard to improve the standard of medicine management in the home. Two dedicated mediation rooms were now in use and all the medicines were stored in three lockable medicine trolleys which were used to transport the medicines in the home. Surplus medicines were stored in locked cabinets. All controlled drugs were stored according to current regulations and medicines requiring refrigeration were stored in locked refrigerators.The refrigerator temperatures were recorded daily but concern was raised that these were outside the limits to safely store medicines. The deputy manager was going to investigate the accuracy of the thermometers. All the prescriptions were seen prior to dispensing and a copy was taken and used to check the medicines and MAR charts received into the home for accuracy. The quantities of all medicines had been recorded enabling audits to take place. These indicated that the medicines had been administered as prescribed and records reflected practice. The home had an internal auditing system to check that medicines dispensed in traditional bottles and boxes had been administered correctly. The care plans lacked details about the peoples clinical conditions. Without such information it would not be possible for the nursing and care staff to fully meet the peoples clinical needs. The home is currently part of a care trust initiative whereby a doctor reviews the peoples medicines regularly. However following the review no recommended actions had been taken. The deputy manager was keen to rectify this matter.
