As the delivery driver you will need to plan the routes for delivery in a logical order.

Your pharmacy may have route planning software to help with this, however it is good practice to understand some key principles for manually planning routes.

You will need to take into consideration:-

• Location of all deliveries for the day
• Timings for deliveries
• Cold chain items due to be delivered
• If you have any CD items so they can be prioritied to minimise risk

Your knowledge of the local area, busy roads and any planned roadworks will help you in planning the routes for the day.
