How the score works

The score is the share of scored questions that pass. N/A is left out of the score; text, dates and signatures are recorded but not scored. A completed template is a record of what you checked; it is not an inspection by a regulator or an accreditation body.

Questions

Why is daily temperature logging important?

Daily logging ensures that medications and vaccines are consistently stored within their required temperature ranges, preserving their efficacy and safety, and meeting regulatory and accreditation standards.

What should I do if a temperature is out of range?

If a temperature is out of range, immediately quarantine the affected stock, notify the pharmacist or supervisor, and document all actions taken in this log.
