Back by Popular Demand
We’re thrilled to share some great news with our dispensary community, the Dispex-branded CL08 tray
system is officially back in stock!
Why Choose the CL08 Tray System?
This popular tray system became a favourite among our members for years, and for good reason. Instead
of the usual plastic lid found on many trays, the CL08 uses a thicker cardboard lid, significantly cutting
down on single-use plastic. This small but impactful change contributes to more sustainable dispensing
practices- something many of our members have told us is becoming increasingly important in their daily
operations. Add to that its stackable construction and sturdy build, and it’s easy to see why this tray system
continues to be in high demand.
Exclusive Offer for Dispex Members
We’re delighted to now offer Dispex members exclusive discounts on CL08 trays, and all other trays thanks to
our new direct partnership with Omnicell.

gives you access to a whole host of benefits, including:
- Member discounts on dispensary supplies and training

- Invitations to our exclusive WhatsApp group for real-time support and networking with peers & Dispex.
Identifying Medication Non-Compliance in Patients
Non-compliance with prescribed medication can impact both the safety and effectiveness of treatment. It
is essential that dispensary teams and GPs remain alert to signs of non-compliance and take appropriate
steps when concerns arise. Monitored dosage systems are used to support patients who have been
assessed by an Authorised Health Care Professional and have been identified to have practical problems in
managing their medicines under The Equality Act 2010, the authorised Health Professional must assess
what level of compliance support is required.
The Role of DRUMs
A Dispensing Review of Use of Medication (DRUM) is one of the key tools used to monitor patient compliance.
DRUMs help to:
- Confirm patient agreement and compliance with their prescribed medicines.
- Identify any issues or challenges the patient may be experiencing.
- Promote quality and safety in the dispensing process.
If you are new to DRUMs, be sure to access our DRUMs tutorial for full guidance.
Who Can Identify Non-Compliance?
- Doctors
- Trained and authorised dispensary staff (e.g. Dispensers).
When to Refer a Patient for Clinical Assessment?
Referral to a prescriber is recommended if any of the following signs or concerns are observed:
- Forgetfulness or missed doses
- Medical conditions such as:
-Parkinson’s disease
-Alzheimer’s disease - Physical or cognitive difficulties that impact medication handling or understanding.
- Safety risks, such as over-ordering that may pose a danger to the patient or others in the home.
