What must a pharmacy supervisor do if their license expires?

If a pharmacy supervisor's license expires, the appropriate action is to cease all supervisory duties until the license is renewed. Maintaining an active, valid license is crucial for fulfilling professional responsibilities, as supervising a pharmacy without a valid license is a serious violation of regulations. This ensures that all legal and safety standards are upheld within the pharmacy and protects the pharmacy from potential legal and operational repercussions.

Continuing to supervise without a valid license not only risks the integrity of the pharmacy operations but could also lead to disciplinary action from the regulatory board. Additionally, transferring responsibilities to a junior staff member or notifying the board for an extension does not adequately address the immediate requirement to stop supervisory duties, as both options do not mitigate the legal implications of operating without a current license. Therefore, ceasing all supervisory duties until reinstatement is essential for compliance and maintaining the standard of practice within the pharmacy.
