Key Benefits
These resources support delivery of SIRCDIS003 Assist in dispensing prescriptions by helping learners check prescriptions for legality, validity and completeness and refer discrepancies to the pharmacist. Trainers and assessors can use them to plan activities around entering patient and entitlement details, responding to system alerts, recording brand changes, generating labels, repeats and CMI, selecting medicines manually or robotically and placing assembled items in private collection areas.
Your RTO should still carry out independent validation to confirm alignment with your specific delivery context and learner cohort, as required under the Standards for RTOs. Use the assessment mapping as your starting point.
