Staff are overwhelmed by new 'opportunities'

摘要

I would like to comment on letters from Ken Sagar and Mitul Patel (PJ,2 October,p465 and p467) 'because they eloquently express concerns that I also have.I do not think what Mr Sagar experienced is acceptable dispensing practice.Unfortunately his experience is being repeated by thousands of patients the length and breadth of Britain.Patients are being confronted with a "dolly mixture" assortment of medicines when they receive their repeat prescriptions.There is no continuity of packaging and the size,colour and shape of tablets and capsules can vary depending on source.
