Prescription Manager
Once you have switched on Advanced Printing, you have access in Consultation Manager to the Therapy Print screen called Prescription Manager.
You will also see the Prescription Manager screen if you activate ETP (Electronic Prescription Service - England). ETP will be introduced gradually over the next year or two, but in the meantime, you can optionally use the Prescription Manager screen by switching on Advanced Printing. You will still be able to do F9 F9 to print a prescription.
In England, if there are nurse prescribers or supplementary prescribers in the practice who want to print prescriptions, then you must use Advanced Printing and Prescription Manager. (Note that you do not have to have Advanced Printing switched on in order to activate ETP).
In Scotland, nurses and supplementary prescribers are not allowed to print bar-coded AMS prescriptions.
Normally you would access the Prescription Manager screen by pressing F9 having selected repeats for issuing. But you can also get to it by pressing F4 then F9 (start with the cursor in the body of the screen, not Read Term Add); or from the Current or Scripts tab by clicking on 
. Note, however, that from the Repeats tab, this icon is greyed out.
