Prescription Tokens

Paper copies of electronic prescriptions are called ‘tokens’. They act as a hard copy of the details contained within the electronic prescription.

There are two types of token:

• Prescription Tokens - Produced by the practice and printed on FP10s.
• Dispensing tokens - Produced by the pharmacy and print on an FP10.

For EPS 2, a prescription token must accompany an electronic prescription:

• at the start of a repeat dispensing regime.
• where clinical information needs to be communicated to the patient.
• at a patient’s request.
• if the prescriber deems it necessary to do so.

The Nominated Pharmacy and the Prescription ID prints on the right hand-side of the script along with any other repeat reorder information set-up in Consultation Manager .
