Why isn't this a 'pack' anymore?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA. Because the other parts — the MAR, the PRN protocol, the worker competency assessment — don't belong as templates from us. The MAR comes from the pharmacy. The PRN protocol is signed by the prescriber. Worker training sits in your Training Register. Bundling them up was confusing the framework with the practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ. Where do I get the MAR?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA.
