I currently don’t use any mobile computing systems in my pharmacy. There is no ‘Not Applicable’ option on the Toolkit, how should I record this requirement?
If the pharmacy does not use any mobile computing devices i.e. there are no laptops and PDAs, nor any portable device used to hold or transfer personal information (e.g. USB sticks and CDs/DVDs), ‘Level 3’ can be recorded but the pharmacy should insert a comment in the text field that states the requirement is not applicable, and that their policy is that they have no mobile computing devices. For example: “Requirement not applicable, this pharmacy does not use removable or portable computing equipment including CDs/DVDs and USB sticks.” The pharmacy should ensure that staff do not use mobile computing devices in their role. NB: This guidance has recently been updated. Some contractors have been informed that Level ‘2’ should be declared in this situation. If ‘Level 2’ has been declared and the 2010 baseline declaration already submitted, there is no need to contact the PCT to update to Level 3.
