Reauthorising Repeat Dispensing Items

You can reauthorise a Repeat Dispensing prescription in the same way as you reauthorise a normal repeat master. Once a batch prescription and all its issues are printed, it expires.

Training Tip - You can use this method to turn a normal Repeat Master into a Repeat Dispensing Master.

To reauthorise a Repeat Dispensing item:

  1. From Consultation Manager , select the patient required and open a consultation if necessary.
  2. From the Therapy tab, highlight the repeat dispensing item to be reauthorised and select Reauthorise Repeat as Batch .
  3. Providing the item is expired and has reached its repeat until date, the Reauthorised Repeat Master - Add screen displays and details complete as per the dates based on the Repeat Dispensing Warning Days set in Control Panel - File Maintenance - Settings - Therapy.
  4. On issuing the item, the prescribed and repeat until dates recalculate using the consultation date.
  5. If the original repeat dispensing item is active, it updates to Inactive.

Bulk Reauthorisation

Selecting more than one item for reauthorisation may result in you being prompted more than once for your choice. If you select Abort it only applies to the item currently being processed, not all items.
