Adding a Preferred Pharmacy

The preferred pharmacy section in Consultation Manager - Patient Details - Patient Preferences allows you to record the patient's preferred pharmacy obtained from a list you have set up in Control Panel - File Maintenance.

To add a patient's preferred pharmacy:

  1. From Consultation Manager , select the patient in the usual way.
  2. Select Patient Details and then Preferences.
  3. In the Therapy section, select Change.
  4. The Preferred Pharmacy Selection screen displays.
  5. Highlight the pharmacy you require and select Select. If there are none, then you need to add each pharmacy likely to be used by your patients in Control Panel - File Maintenance - Organisations - with a category of Pharmacy.

The selected pharmacy is now printed on their prescriptions.

See Preferred Pharmacy in England for further details in England.
