Negligence is a legal term that describes when someone does not meet the standards of care that a reasonable person would in a similar situation. It can be argued that pharmacy negligence occurs when pharmacists do not follow best practices or make careless errors that cause patient harm.
There are many potential causes of pharmacy negligence, such as understaffing, lack of training, and pressure to meet quotas. In the UK, there have been several high-profile cases of pharmacy negligence that have led to public outcry and calls for reform.
