Request to all pharmacy staff who verify SACT

BOPA are initiating research to review the training currently in place for pharmacy staff to clinically check/verify SACT prescriptions. You do NOT need to be a member of BOPA to take part.

We are aiming to obtain a baseline now and will repeat the survey in approx one year to compare current training to training with the digital passport.

The survey will take approximately 10-15mins to complete and once completed you can be entered into a raffle with a chance to win one of THREE annual PAID memberships to BOPA.

Participation in this study is voluntary. Your details will not be shared outside of BOPA and you will only be contacted if you are a winner. All responses will be anonymised for the purposes of analysis.

Please access the survey here: https://forms.office.com/e/MaivyhUDcW
