The successful candidate will have compounding experience and will oversee all activities related to compounding of non-sterile preparations in our community pharmacy.

Requirements: Licensed pharmacist

The non-sterile compounding supervisor may assign technical tasks related to compounding non-sterile preparations to non-regulated pharmacy personnel with the appropriate training and competencies. This assignment of tasks must be carried out using a formal delegation process or under supervision in accordance with the requirements of the provincial/territorial regulatory authority.

Responsibilities

The non-sterile compounding supervisor ensures that the following requirements are met:

Measures are in place (i.e., personnel training and assessment program) to ensure that personnel are competent to perform compounding, which includes training for any specific populations (e.g., pediatric, geriatric, veterinary). Personnel know and fully comply with policies and procedures. The existing compounding process yields high-quality non-sterile preparations. A risk assessment is performed to determine appropriate requirements for each compounded preparation. Appropriate measures are taken to ensure the safety of personnel during each preparation. Procedures for incident/accident reporting and follow-up, as well as recall procedures, are in place. Policies and procedures covering all activities are developed, regularly reviewed, and updated. The facilities and equipment used to compound non-sterile preparations meet requirements and are maintained, calibrated or certified according to manufacturers' specifications or standards, whichever are more stringent. The available, recognized scientific literature is used to determine stability and to establish the BUD for each non-sterile preparation. Master Formulation Records are developed, reviewed, and updated. An ongoing quality assurance program, designed to ensure that preparation activities are performed in accordance with standards of practice, scientific standards, existing data and relevant information, is implemented, followed, evaluated, and updated as required. Current editions of mandatory and supplementary references, which should be in compliance with provincial/territorial requirements, are available. Safety data sheets are available and updated regularly, or are readily accessible in an electronic format. All records of decisions, activities or specifications required by the Model Standards are completed, and any changes are documented and traceable. The records are retained and readily available for audit and inspection purposes, as required by the provincial/territorial pharmacy regulatory authority.

The successful applicant will also play a key role in maintaining, developing and expanding professional relationships with other health care professionals in our province. Clinical care of pharmacy clients will fall with the scope of this position.

Solutions Pharmacy offers a team atmosphere focusing on lifelong learning, organizational growth and personal development.
