• 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 />
