Monthly Medication Audit Checklist
This monthly medication audit checklist helps health and care teams review key aspects of safe medicines management. Verify clinic room security, locked cupboards, and controlled access to drug keys. Check daily temperature logs to maintain room conditions between 16-25°C and refrigeration between 2-8°C, and confirm refrigerators are clean and maintained. Assess cleanliness, hand hygiene facilities, and procedures for medication disposal and waste storage. Review non-controlled medications for organization, expiry, original packaging, and opened-date labeling, including records for homely remedies. Inspect controlled drugs for secure storage, dual-practitioner register entries, weekly checks, accurate tallies, and correct disposal records. Audit first aid boxes for accessibility, completeness, and documented checks. Evaluate MAR charts for completeness, up-to-date photos, accurate running balances, and PRN protocols where required.
