If there’s a change in the Pharmacist Manager of Record, how soon must the new application be submitted to the Board?

The requirement to submit a new application to the Board "promptly" in the event of a change in the Pharmacist Manager of Record reflects the urgency and importance of maintaining compliant pharmacy operations. A pharmacy must ensure that there is always a designated manager responsible for the day-to-day operations and adherence to laws and regulations. By stipulating that this submission be made "promptly," the regulation emphasizes the need for pharmacies to act quickly to ensure continuity in management and regulatory oversight, which is critical for patient safety and the proper functioning of the pharmacy.

Other specific time frames—such as 7 days, 10 days, or 14 days—imply stricter deadlines, but "promptly" allows a degree of flexibility while still conveying urgency. This can accommodate various circumstances that may affect the actual submission time while ensuring that the Board is notified in a timely manner to facilitate oversight and compliance.
