Summary. "The patient hands their repeat prescription to the pharmacist who passes it under the barcode reader. Without further input the pharmacy computer prints all the labels, produces the next Repeat Authorisation, prepares an order to replace the stock, and produces an electronic invoice against which the NHS will make payment. The assembled products are passed under the barcode reader by the pharmacist and the pharmacy computer confirms that they are the correct products for the prescription. The labels are then applied by hand."
This is the reality of Australian pharmacy today.
