DISPEX SOP Templates are Now Available for all members!

On the 1st July, we announced our new SOPs service in the Dispex Gazette, be the first to hear our
announcements

SOPs are a vital part of the DSQS requirements and an important element to ensure safe and
quality practice and procedures are followed by all members of staff.

Our Templates will provide a guide, according to the DSQS requirements minimum, for you to
amend as relevant
to your own Dispensary. You will be able to customise and adapt the procedures
content to your own circumstances and adjust each one, to reflect the way your own Dispensary
operates, within the recommended guidelines. The following SOPs Templates are available
