Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Named staff only - No shared keys - Entry log - Counts that can be checked ## The problem Controlled medicines are valuable and must be accounted for. A key that hangs on a nail or is copied by a friend cannot answer who entered on a particular night. A reader on the store door, a short list of named staff, and an entry log mean the count and the record can be compared, and a difference can be traced instead of argued. **Named staff only**: A short list with their own cards or fingerprints. **No shared keys**: Nothing to copy or lend. **Entry log**: Who entered, on which day and time. **Counts that can be checked**: Differences can be traced. ## How it works How it works The need or the riskSomething happens in a controlled medicines store The system noticesAccess control picks it up The right person is toldAt the desk, on a phone or on a screen Staff respondKnowing where and what A record is keptWhere the system keeps one, for review ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Who is on the list | Kept short and reviewed monthly | | Reader type | Fingerprint or card plus PIN | | Cabinet inside | Locked, with its own count | | Your own rules | Confirm legal requirements with your pharmacist and advisers | | Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy | | Your own requirements | Confirm them with your regulator and advisers | ## How we set it up 1. **Walk a controlled medicines store**: We note every door, room, route and risk. 2. **Draw the plan**: Where access control goes and what it covers. 3. **Cable and power**: Cabling, power and backup to every point. 4. **Fit and configure**: Installed, set up and labelled. 5. **Test and train**: We test every point and train your staff. ## What we supply We design, supply and install access control for hospitals, clinics and care homes.
