Compounding: reducing the risk

Listen Later
In the first of a series of podcasts co-produced by AJP and PDL, we take a look at risk awareness and management when compounding

In this podcast, Kylie Neville, PDL professional officer, is joined by two highly experienced industry leaders in pharmaceutical compounding: Patricia Ullmann and Marina Holt.

They delve into topics relating to risk awareness and risk management in compounding of medicines. The aim is to highlight areas where practitioners can improve safety and reduce unwanted outcomes through greater focus on good compounding practices.

Among the topics covered:

  • The work environment and training requirements for simple and complex compounding (01:34)
  • What are the responsibilities of compounding pharmacists to provide counseling to a patient? (05:35)
  • How important is proprietor oversight when it comes to the operation of a compounding pharmacy? (07:40)
  • Are there any responsibilities of the proprietors that can be delegated to staff? (10:40)
  • What are some of the key principles around safety and risk awareness when
    • staff are handling compounding medicines that contain cytotoxic or hazardous materials? (13:00)
  • Can exposure of any sort of to compounding chemicals occur outside of the lab? (18:40)
  • Examples of procedures for keeping on top of daily, weekly, quarterly, or even annual operational requirements? (22:00)
