Have your policy and procedures become too long, too complicated and taken on a life of their own?!
OPUS knows that over recent years, policies have developed into long and complicated documents which staff find difficult to read and understand.
With the help of its team of qualified pharmacists, OPUS has developed a new approach to writing policies and procedures.
Our documents comprise of:
- a bespoke, short summary policy document with
- easy to read, visual flow chart procedures, all of which are consistent with regulations and best practice; and
- a policy support document which provides supplementary information and guidance and can be used as a helpful reference tool for staff.
Staff find our new policies easy to read and understand and, most importantly, simple to follow.
What does the service include?
