Whether you’re new to the role or looking to enhance your expertise, The Essential Prescription Clerk’s
Guide is the only resource on the market specifically designed to help you master the core responsibilities
of a Prescription Clerk.
This practical guide takes you through the entire prescription journey covering everything from information
governance to MHRA alerts. It provides clear guidance on identifying medicine categories, forms, and
dosages, as well as understanding side effects, drug interactions, and therapeutic duplications.
You’ll also learn the importance of standard operating procedures and best practices for prescription
processing, including drug monitoring, meeting processing deadlines, and managing issues such as
manufacturer supply shortages.
In addition, the guide offers valuable insights into collaborating with community pharmacies, prescribers,
and the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). It also covers managing English prescription charges and
handling complex situations, such as hospital discharge amendments and compliance aids.
This guide has been produced and edited for Dispex by Dr Philip Koopowitz, in conjunction with Kirstye
Todd, our Dispex Tutor.
With a physical copy in hand, you’ll have instant access to indispensable insights. A critical element of the
guide is helping non-clinical team members identify when issues should be escalated to GPs or other
prescribers. While the guide highlights key escalation points, it’s essential that each Practice has a clearly
defined internal process for managing such escalations. The printed guide is fully customisable, mark it,
tab it, and tailor it to your needs for quick and efficient access to critical sections.
“We believe this resource will be a valuable asset in enhancing prescription safety and supporting staff in
delivering high-quality patient care”.
