The abbreviations, symbols, and dose designations found in this table have been reported to ISMP through the USP-ISMP Medication Error Reporting Program as being frequently misinterpreted and involved in harmful medication errors. They should NEVER be used when communicating medical information.
The problem with the process is that it can be quite lengthy, and involves the employee filling in a form listing their personal details, the employer verifying their personal identification documents, then the form being sent off to the DBS for the police checks to be done. On average, this process can take 8 weeks. If someone has changed their name a lot and has moved house dozens of times, the checking may take even longer. There is no way around this process and no way of speeding things up â there is no option to pay extra for an âexpress serviceâ.
If you have received the results of your DBS check and there is an error or you wish to challenge any of the information, you must contact the DBS directly. Disputes must be raised with the DBS within the first three months of the date of issue of the Disclosure.
