Cancellation Response Message

Once you enter a cancellation reason, a response message is returned:

Category

Description

Action required

Successful

The cancellation was successful.

None

At pharmacy

The prescription has been downloaded by a dispensing contractor, but has not yet been dispensed.

Contact the pharmacy

Already Dispensed

The prescription has been dispensed to the patient.

Contact the patient

Transmission Issue

The message could not be transmitted due to a messaging issue.

Contact the patient

Prescription not found

This may be because the cancellation message arrived before the electronic prescription. The NHS Spine cancels the prescription automatically when it arrives.

None

If you do not receive a cancellation response or you close Consultation Manager before you receive a response, the 'No cancel verification has been received for the following items for <patient_name><list of items>you should contact the patient or the pharmacy to cancel these items.<pharmacy and patient contact details>OK/Already Cancelled/Continue' message displays

Note - It is your responsibility to make sure that the patient is informed of any drug cancellations generated at your practice.
