Repeat Dispensing is when a person who has a stable long term condition is prescribed up to 12 months of their medicines. These prescriptions are stored electronically and drawn down one at a time for dispensing over the set time period. The patient does not have to request prescriptions from the GP during this period. When the penultimate prescription is dispensed by the pharmacy, the patient is asked to see their GP for review and a new prescription.
