A quick request.

Please would people have a look here and sign the petition if you feel it appropriate:

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/decriminalisation-of-dispensing-errors.html

This is, as a pharmacist, something that strikes horribly close to home for me. All dispensing errors are legally a crime and could be prosecuted, regardless of whether anyone comes to harm. In the case that triggered this petition, a pharmacist received a three month suspended prison sentence for a dispensing error that was ruled to have no link to the patient's death.

Your time and attention is very much appreciated :-)
