Repeat Dispensing - What Does the Patient Do?
Your patient takes the signed batch prescription and the batch issues to the pharmacist. The pharmacist retains the prescription, and the patient either keeps the remaining batch issues or asks the pharmacist to keep them on their behalf.
Note - If the patient changes address mid-way through a batch, they need to contact their GP for a further repeat prescription to take to their new pharmacy.
