Print Advice for Non-drug Therapy Items on Prescriptions

You may want to issue advice to a patient without prescribing on a prescription, for example, advising them to buy aspirin over the counter. This can then be printed on the right-hand side of a prescription form, without having to prescribe anything.

You can do this by making an entry of your own free text on the Advice Given screen. In both cases the advice record is written first, then you press F9 to print it out.

You can also print messages on the right-handside of a prescription by using the patient Notes option - either in Drug Defaults for a particular drug (eg for patients' inhaler prescriptions, add Notes for patients to see the Asthma nurse rather than GP when inhaler prescription runs out - see Drug defaults: dosage, quantity, etc); or for a message on an individual prescription, use Notes on the front Therapy screen.
