The drive for change in

dispensary

For a long time, dispensaries in dispensing practices have had to make do with the
outdated dispensing module, bolted on to the clinical system. This has enabled the
dispensary to function, but hasn’t evolved with the ever changing need of the modern
dispensary. We understand that most of our members will still be using paper
prescriptions, which can result in struggling to find where they are in the signing off
process, with dispensers chasing the GP and queues of patients waiting for their
prescriptions.

This process, combined with increasing script numbers and more demanding patients can
often result in increased workload and a busy and stressful working environment from the
dispensary staff all the way through to the GP’s.
