Thanks for the link Fay. It is re-assuring to see that what I have been
attempting to do recently is well documented by the GPC. It also nicely
documents re Travel Vaccs and Private Malaria scripts - something else that
I have been trying to get a consensus on.
Best wishes
Paul

Feels is an abuse of the pharmacy pool but nice work if you can get it!
However would still dispense them if the practice declined to prescribe for
shorter periods to avoid losing the business. The dispensing practice don't
provide monitored dosage systems.
He says the system for paying pharmacies is changing on 1 April. Also note
GPC guidance which addresses these issues in Sept 2004

I have not attached the document out of politeness for people with open
source software which can only cope with one byte at a time but will send if
you can't get into this site, what with being an alien and all ;-)
