Using our best practice videos

Our video topics are based on emerging themes and problem areas identified at aseptic preparation audits and from queries from Trusts. We provide them here so they can be viewed at any time.

This video was created by the SPS QA team and has been periodically used during the SPS QA lunchtime webinar sessions.

You remain professionally responsible and accountable for your own actions when using our advice and guidance.

Stability evaluation in aseptics video

A good understanding of factors affecting chemical and physical stability is a key factor when assigning shelf life to products prepared in pharmacy aseptic services.

This 31-minute video guides you through the evaluation of chemical and physical stability data to support shelf-life decisions for medicines prepared within your service.

 

Further stability resources

Colleagues in NHS aseptic services can register for the SPS stability tool.

A video about the tool, and additional guidance can be found on the article on stability resources for aseptic services (SPS page), which is available only for NHS registered SPS users.
