Practice point 5<br />
Who is/will be the repeat dispensing lead in your pharmacy<br />
This will vary from pharmacy to pharmacy but it is useful to have a nominated<br />
person who will manage the system and communicate with the local surgeries. It<br />
doesn’t have to be the pharmacist, but it must be someone who fully understands<br />
the repeat dispensing service, your SOPs and who is happy to be the central point<br />
for communication to and from local surgeries.<br />
Practice point 6<br />
Using the paper Drug Tariff or the electronic version on the <strong>NHS</strong><br />
Prescription Services website 3 , find out what fees are paid to contractors<br />
for repeat dispensing under the community pharmacy contractual<br />
framework.<br />
All pharmacy contractors receive an annual payment of £1500, which is paid<br />
monthly (£125 per month). The £125 is paid automatically as part of the<br />
monthly payment schedule from <strong>NHS</strong> Prescription Services (NB - these figures<br />
were correct at the time of print - please refer to the most recent version of the<br />
Drug Tariff for the most up-to-date fees).<br />
