support decision-making rather than a substitute for
professional expertise. In the meantime, the risk is
likely to remain with the pharmacist rather than the
technology.
Embedding AI safely in practice
Whilst AI has the potential to improve e昀케ciency and

introducing AI-enabled services should ensure that
sta昀昀 understand the limitations of these technologies
and that clear accountability for decision-making is
maintained.
Practical safeguards include:
•
understanding the limitations and potential
failure points of AI systems;
•
maintaining
clear
audit

•
independently
verifying
AI-generated
recommendations and information;
•
keeping up to date with evolving GPhC guidance
and wider regulatory developments;
