Points to consider
Medication errors like unspotted wrong doses, poor antibiotic timing, and missing records show safety processes have gaps.
Medicines were not always administered and managed robustly. For example there was one person who was receiving the correct dose but this was not as entered... Antibiotics were not always being administered in evenly spaced doses... gaps in the administering charts... none of these shortfalls had been identified as part of these audits. Per 2018 comprehensive inspection
