Course Description:

'' Pharmacy Technicians perform a wide range of clerical and technical tasks necessary to the operation of a pharmacy. They enable the licensed pharmacists to concentrate on professional functions, such as providing medical staff and patients with information and advice.

The primary responsibility of most technicians is to prepare, package, and distribute medications prescribed by physicians for hospitalized patients.

After pharmacists review the order for errors or potential problems, technicians transcribe the relevant information about he patient and the prescribed medications onto the patient’s profile.
These profiles are the basic source of information used by technicians for filling medication orders and must be continually updated as new orders are received. Transcribing to the profile from the chart order requires an understanding of medical and pharmaceutical terminology and abbreviations.

Inventory control is another area of responsibility for some technicians. Technicians keep track of medications, chemicals, and other supplies, and prepare orders for additional quantities when stock gets low. They also receive incoming goods, check invoices against quantities received, and put supplies into storage.

Additional duties performed by Pharmacy Technicians may include delivering drugs and pharmaceutical supplies to nursing stations, keeping pharmacy work areas clean and orderly, assisting in the processing of health insurance forms and OHIP, and responding to telephone questions or requests from other Health Care personnel.


WORKING CONDITIONS

Pharmacies are neat, clean, and well-organized. Pharmacy Technicians work under the close supervision of licensed pharmacists.

Although the work is often repetitive, it is highly precise, demanding good judgment, accuracy, and constant attention to detail. The work also requires extreme care in handling and storing drugs and chemicals.
Physical demands may include moving heavy boxes and delivery carts.
