Which personnel should participate in ongoing training regarding aseptic techniques?

Ongoing training regarding aseptic techniques should involve all personnel involved in the preparation of Compounded Sterile Preparations (CSPs) because each member plays a crucial role in maintaining sterile practices. Aseptic techniques are vital to ensuring that the compounding environment remains uncontaminated and that no pathogens are introduced into the sterile products.

Everyone in the team—from pharmacists to technicians—needs to be familiar with the principles and practices of aseptic technique to minimize risks of infection and ensure patient safety. Training for only one group would leave gaps in knowledge and responsibility, which could lead to compounding errors or contamination. Thus, comprehensive and inclusive training for all staff involved in CSP preparation helps to foster a culture of safety and accountability, ensuring that every individual is well-prepared and competent in their role within the compounding process.
