Extract
If a pharmacist’s beliefs or personal convictions prevent him or her from providing a particular service, the pharmacist must disclose this fact before accepting employment to allow procedures to be put in place to enable patients to access the services they require. In such circumstances the Code of Ethics and Standards requires that a pharmacist must not condemn or criticise the patient and that either the pharmacist or a member of staff must advise the patient of an alternative source for the service requested.
