It is hoped that this document will encourage reflection on the current repeat prescribing system in your practice with consequent benefits for both practice personnel and patients. It has been developed to assist you in analysing your current repeat prescribing methods and for ongoing review.
It is not intended to be the definitive text on prescribing in general practice. A step by step approach has been taken so that you can start to make a difference today in your practice. Hopefully having taken that first step you will be inspired to continue!
