— Jim Kee, Supervising Pharmacist,

The Pharmapod system allows us to share our experiences of incidents and near misses so that we can look at every incident as an opportunity to improve our service. The system helps us to analyse the trends and the root causes of errors across our pharmacies. It has helped us develop a no blame culture in our company, keeping the focus on open communication, learning and improving patient safety.

Meagher’s Pharmacy Group, Community Pharmacist of the Year 2013
For patient safety, the way forward has to be through partnership, collaboration and learning. This requires a level of openness, transparency and honest acknowledgment when shortfalls occur and that’s what Pharmapod is all about – sharing information to ensure systems are continually improved, reducing errors and preventing recurrence of avoidable harm. The reporting of errors, the monitoring, evaluation, testing of systems, processes and behaviours are now viewed as positive interventions with which to co-operate, not as policing measures to be resisted.
