Answer 1
Legal Responsibilities of a Manager:
Imagining myself as a manager of a small pharmacy I would have some legal
responsibilities as a manager. These responsibilities are under the provisions of the section 39 of
the Division 3 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act. The responsibilities are:
 Protecting privacy of customer information- under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) a
rule of conduct named Australian Privacy Principles establishes the handling and
collection of personal data of the customers and the guidelines on how to use
them.
 Ensuring proper qualification of the staffs- to work in the field of pharmacy a
person has to be a minimum graduate. A bachelor or master degree in Pharmacy
is needed. After the completion of graduation or post graduation a person needs to
register with the Pharmacy Board of Australia and complete a minimum of 1 year
of internship.
 Dispensing prescribed substances- under the Controlled Substance Act 1984 and
the Controlled Substances (Poisons) Regulations 2011 regulate the prescription,
supply, and administration of drugs and poisons.
Ethical Responsibilities of a Manager:
As a manager apart from the legal responsibilities I would have certain ethical
responsibilities towards the pharmacy as well. These ethical responsibilities are guided by the
Code of Ethics for Pharmacists 2011by the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Ltd and the Code
