Smartcards
Smartcards and their access control provide security measures to protect patient data. Access control ensures only those people who are directly involved in patient care, and have a legitimate reason to access patient medical information can do so.
The local Registration Authority will assign roles onto the Smartcard, and will also set the Smartcard so that it can be used in the relevant pharmacy, or multiple pharmacies.
Each pharmacy team member whose role means that they need a Smartcard should have one; Smartcards should not be shared by staff.
All pharmacy staff registering for a smartcard for the first time will have to go through the full registration process which includes identity checks.
