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.
