Repeat Dispensing in Pharmacy (NHS Essential Pharmacy Services)
The pharmacy services series looks at the NHS and non-NHS services provided in retail community pharmacies in England and Wales. Repeat Dispensing, also known as Batch repeat dispensing is an 'Essential service' as part of the NHS contract, a service that all pharmacies must provide, but is often confused with repeat prescription management. Note in England as part of EPS, where the system uses electronic prescriptions, it may be carried out slightly differently, known as eRD or electronic repeat dispensing. This learning is ideal for pharmacy students, pharmacists, pre-reg trainees or anyone working in or interested in community pharmacy in Wales and England, to get an understanding of how pharmacy operates.
This series tries to show the value of community pharmacy and clear up misconceptions about the services it provides. It tries to differentiate between the white paper repeat forms, and the repeat dispensing on the green prescriptions. I try to facilitate learning with a more animated and dynamic approach to hopefully make pharmacy concepts easier to understand.
