NEW DISPEX SOP: HRT Prescription Sorting P14
Scope;
This SOP applies specifically to HRT prescriptions and the HRT PPC and processing of
these prescriptions emphasis is placed on the importance of meeting the legal requirements
associated with completing the FP10 reverse when any HRT prescription is handed out to the
patient or their representative at the dispensary hatch.
It is important that the dispenser checks evidence of a valid HRT PPC (Pre-Payment Certificate)
and relevant parts of the reverse of the FP10 are completed by the patient or their representative
on collection of their dispensed prescription.
