• Managing pharmacy inventory: Help reconcile and manage drug inventory, source alternatives during shortages, receive and organize medications for destruction, and maintain accurate records under pharmacist supervision.
• Supporting prescription processing: Transfer and receive prescriptions from other pharmacies and accurately prepare refills and renewals to keep patient care seamless.
• Assisting with verbal orders and technical checks: Work closely with pharmacists to ensure prescriptions are complete, accurate, and compliant. Perform technical checks for dosage, labeling, and directions.
• Preparing compounds and ensuring quality: Compound approved formulas according to standards, ensuring precise measurements, documentation, and safety practices.
• Supporting workflow and supporting continuous improvement: Play a hands-on role in maintaining smooth daily operations, mentoring pharmacy assistants or students, and contributing to quality improvement initiatives.
