How other shops do it

Six short pieces on the parts of running a pharmacy that cost money quietly: batches, stock, records, credit and the day close.

What is here, and what is not

These are working notes rather than law. Each one describes a routine a shop runs every day and what usually goes wrong in it, written so you could follow it with a notebook and a pen if you wanted to.

What you will not find is a page telling you what a regulation requires. Rules change, they change differently for different shapes of shop, and a confident paragraph on the internet is the worst possible place to learn one. Where a rule matters we say which record to keep rather than what the rule says — keeping the record is the part that is the same either way.
