An Act amending the act of September 27, 1961 (P.L.1700, No.699), known as the Pharmacy Act, providing for medication error prevention training.

HB 1280 requires pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy technician trainees in Pennsylvania to complete annual medication error prevention training. The training covers key topics like medication categories, overdose management, proper storage, and the "six principles" of medication administration (correct drug, dose, person, time, method, and documentation). Participants must score at least 80% on an exam and demonstrate knowledge of medication names, purposes, side effects, and special instructions to receive certification. New pharmacists licensed in Pennsylvania for less than five years must complete this training twice yearly until they meet the five-year threshold.
