I have been working directly with multiple Dispensing Doctors over the last 5 years around their Dispensary Management Accounts and implemented a better system in their practices.
And as part of this process we have also discovered that many practices are STILL incorrectly endorsing their prescriptions and are losing money to the tune of hundreds of £ per month! Thousands of £ over a year… and there is a learning gap which we are now filling.
You MUST be checking your purchase of [at least] the following 20 generics because you MAY be purchasing at a price above Drug Tariff according to a price list sent to me earlier this week:

| Adapalene 0.3% / Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel 60G |
| Atomoxetine 40mg Caps (28) |

57 price concessions were recently announced on the CPE website so double check there also.
If you aren’t sure how to endorse, when to endorse and when to add the price, and when to adjust the main body of the prescription you could be losing hundreds of pounds a month. In-house training sessions with your team, delivered by me start at £485 + VAT for bookings in July and August of this year.
Please, you really must make sure you aren’t dispensing items at a significant loss!
