General shop or cashier experience cannot replace the pharmacy qualification and SAPC registration. The vacancy is not an entry route for an unregistered applicant.

Prepare one example of preventing a script or patient-data error and one of handling scheduled stock correctly. Explain the verification step and when pharmacist oversight was required.
