Q. Is it possible to use the practice software system to print out a medication list to be held by the patient?

A. All of the accredited GP practice software systems can print out a list of current medications. It is part of the accreditation requirements. You should be able to print a list of all acute and repeat drugs for a patient. Some GP systems provide a 'Repeat' option displaying all the drugs a patient is currently on in a list-box layout so they can tick which drug they want repeat prescriptions for when handing into the surgery. Have a look at your user manual or contact the support desk of your GP software company for information.
