Pharmacy Quality Management

Working within Aseptic Services, Dispensing, Medicine Information, or any other area within pharmacy, key compliance processes and procedures such as managing documentation and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and effective Audit and CA/PA Management, are all essential in order to meet strict regulatory guidelines and standards.

However, meeting these requirements has traditionally been carried out through paper and electronic documents, spread-sheets and other manual systems - with little integration, or communication, between each disparate system. As a result, compliance and quality management can be seen as a bureaucratic burden within the pharmacy sector with limited staff engagement and little positive impact when “checking the compliance boxes”.

Q-Pulse, from Gael, was designed to help with quality and compliance management within Pharmacy by streamlining and managing all of your compliance activities. By using Q-Pulse, you can significantly decrease the time you spend on the non-productive areas of quality and compliance management - while also helping to reduce costs and increase productivity.

As a fully integrated Electronic Quality Management Solution (eQMS), Q-Pulse helps successfully manage your compliance activities such as Auditing, SOP/Document Control and Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) Management. When using Q-Pulse, compliance management can quickly be turned from a bureaucratic burden into a positive business improvement tool by helping to analyse data to show areas of enhancement with full staff involvement.

Across the UK, a number of NHS Pharmacies including Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, Mid-Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust and Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust, use Q-Pulse to help them implement an efficient and effective quality system to meet GMP and MHRA regulatory requirements.
