Standards and audit template
Professional standards for optimising medicines for people in secure environments are hosted by the RPS and an audit template has been developed to support providers in implementing and maintaining these standards.
Report from the baseline audit 2018
In 2018, NHS Specialist Pharmacy Service in collaboration with Health and Justice commissioners undertook a national self-assessment audit for all prisons, immigration removal centres and secure training centres against the RPS standards for optimising medicines in secure environments.
99% of Health & Justice sites in England took part in the audit and the final report is published below.
