• The pharmacy / dispensary staff will process batch issues and forward the forms to<br />

HSW at the end of the month dispensed. The repeatable prescription will be sent to<br />

HSW once all batch issues have been dispensed, or if the customer fails to collect all<br />

instalments, on expiry.<br />

• Remuneration has been negotiated through the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating<br />

Committee (PSNC) and Community Pharmacy Wales (CPW). Repeat dispensing is<br />

part of the Essential Services to be delivered from the new Pharmacy Contract.<br />

• Pharmacists will need to keep records of the scheme, for example information<br />

relating to items not dispensed. These should be made in the comments section of<br />

the Customer Record Card retained in the pharmacy.<br />

• The pharmacist may need to communicate with the Local Health Board (LHB) on<br />

various issues and continued good working relationships with the prescribers will be<br />

essential. This can be achieved through the Surgery Partnership visits.<br />

• All staff involved in the scheme must understand the need to report to their Area<br />

Manager any issues with the potential to affect the success of the scheme.<br />

• It is a legal requirement to comply with the dispensing intervals specified by the<br />

prescriber. This should be discussed with the patient and if there are concerns with<br />

the dispensing interval specified this should be discussed with the prescriber. The<br />

prescriber is not legally required to specify a dispensing interval.<br />

• If the patient presents to collect a repeat dispensing prescription either early or late<br />

according to the dispensing interval the pharmacist should consider making an<br />

emergency supply. Please refer to principle 1 of the Standards of conduct, ethics and<br />

performance, Make the care of patients your first concern.This could include discussion<br />

with the prescriber to obtain a prescription for this supply.<br />

• Where a dispensing interval is not specified the pharmacist should use their<br />

professional judgement when deciding the appropriate interval for dispensing.<br />
