How long must a pharmacy notify the Board of Pharmacy after a pharmacist in charge is terminated?

The correct time frame for notifying the Board of Pharmacy after a pharmacist in charge is terminated is 10 days. This requirement is in place to ensure that the Board maintains accurate and up-to-date records regarding the personnel in charge of pharmacies, which is crucial for regulatory compliance and public safety.

Timely notification allows the Board to assess any potential risks associated with the change in personnel and ensures that the pharmacy is continuously operating within the legal framework established for pharmaceutical practices. This regulation emphasizes the importance of maintaining accountability in the dispensing and management of medications, which could have significant implications for patient care and safety.

The specific period of 10 days sets a balance between allowing pharmacies sufficient time to manage staffing changes while also ensuring that the Board is informed promptly to take any necessary actions or ensure compliance with regulations.
