The Standards of Practice as set out by the Newfoundland and Labrador Pharmacy Board and the College of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador, requires Labrador-Grenfell Health to change the manner in which medications are dispensed at its community clinics along the Labrador coast.
As a result, the Black Tickle and Cartwright Community Clinics will no longer be dispensing long-term prescriptions as of November 30, 2020. This change promotes and protects the rights and responsibilities of clients and follows regulatory standards and best practices for the dispensing of medications.
Clients are responsible to:
- Contact the Black Tickle/Cartwright clinic to review active prescription(s).
- Make an appointment at the clinic one month before prescription(s) need to be renewed. (This information can be found on the label of current prescription medications. Please see sample label below.)
