Preparing your Courier Submission: Top Tips for 2024
Published: 10/01/24
It’s the New Year, and with that we wanted to refresh your memory on some top tips for packing your prescription submissions:
Please do:
Only include your barcoded, handwritten and completed MCR serial prescriptions.
Remove any stationery like sticky notes, staples, and Sellotape from your prescriptions before submitting.
Separate any PC70s, stock orders, and invoices and band these together.
Place all scripts banded together neatly into the bag.
Use more than one bag if you need to submit more than 6000 forms, marking the bags as “1 of 2”, “2 of 2”, etc.
Please don’t:
Place loose prescriptions in the bag.
Include any electronic UCF forms.
Put more than 6000 forms in one bag.
This ensures they can be processed swiftly on arrival at P&CFS and reduce the risk of any prescriptions becoming damaged in transit.
