auditing

We have a unique & effective approach to auditing & inspecting medicines in Adult Social Care settings. Now that same approach is offered directly to your service. Where shortfalls are identified, we will work together to address them.

As a specialist Pharmacist Inspector for CQC, Maggy developed a unique and effective approach to auditing and inspecting medicines across all types of Adult Social Care settings. Now, you can take advantage of this approach directly, to improve the quality of service you offer to those you support and care for.

Service providers and managers often only become aware of problems with medicines management following a CQC inspection or a safeguarding incident. STAR Medication is keen to help you become more pro-active and get things right before they go wrong.

Has your service has received a CQC rating of ‘Requires Improvement’ or ‘Inadequate’ or have you received an enforcement notice? If so, STAR Medication can perform a full audit and give you the advice and bespoke support you need to enable you and your team to achieve and maintain compliance.

If your service has achieved a rating of ‘Good’, STAR Medication will help you take that next step towards becoming an ‘Outstanding’ service offering the highest quality of care possible to those you support.

STAR Medication offers a range of auditing services:

  • Full audit of all client’s medicines and associated records
  • Sample audit of agreed percentage of clients
  • Specific audits targeting known areas of concern
  • Regular monthly, quarterly or annual audits
  • Provision of tools for managers and senior staff to use
  • Analysis of audits to identify and resolve on-going concerns
