The applicant submits to Pharmacy Assurance. After this the HRA will perform a document check and will liaise with the applicant if they have any queries about the submission. If the applicant has requested particular reviewers to review the application the HRA will try to allocate to them in the first instance. If these reviewers are not available, or the applicant doesn’t request any particular reviewers, the HRA will allocate the review to the first available pharmacy reviewers. The pharmacy reviewers then complete the review. If they have any queries, the HRA will liaise with the applicant on the reviewers’ behalf to ensure that appropriate clarification is provided. Once the completed review has been received by the HRA from the reviewers, they will send this to the applicant and confirm that Pharmacy Assurance is in place. It is then the applicant’s responsibility to share this with the participating sites so that they can use this to support their local capacity and capability processes.
