Dispensing is the predominant activity in the pharmacy and consequently represents the predominant risk. It is important that the causes of potential risks are identified and actions taken to avoid them.

We can categorise the factors that lead to errors into different areas:

  • Team factors
  • Individual factors
  • Product factors
  • Patient factors
  • Environmental/process factors.
