Repeat Dispensing Options

Enable Repeat Dispensing - You should only activate the Repeat Dispensing functionality once you have your Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) approval. This then allows you to issue batch prescriptions, printing six or twelve months' scripts at the same time.

If you have approval from your health board to carry out repeat dispensing from your practice, tick the Enable Repeat Dispensing check box. Repeat Dispensing allows you to create a repeat master (a batch prescription) and a number of issues (usually six), and usually dated a month apart, and print them as a batch. The patient then takes these to the pharmacist and they are dispensed, month by month..

Repeat Dispensing Warning Days - You can enter days between 1-99 so that a message displays when reauthorising a batch prescription which has more than the selected days before expiry. The following displays:

"Please ask the patient whether they have any unused batch issues remaining in their possession from a previous repeatable prescription."
