Fife Multi-agency Underage Sexual Activity Protocol

Adult Protection

One of the issues raised by the GPhC Inspector at community pharmacy inspections is how you would raise concerns regarding safeguarding vulnerable groups.  As you will appreciate if you ever have significant concerns regarding a vulnerable adult, whether a patient or customer, you may need to act quickly.

This flyer provides contact information should such circumstances arise.  Please bring to the attention of all pharmacy staff including locum and relief pharmacists who may only work in Fife occasionally.
