| Starting
Out for Dispensers
|
|
The 'Starting Out' booklet was
written by Angela Griffiths and Nigel Morley in respect of a
request by a dispensing PCT.
With a significant number of
dispensing practices within its membership. It was recognised
that there was a need for a simple and concise explanatory
booklet for newcomers to the dispensary who, as all or part of
their role, will be undertaking the dispensing process. It was
also felt that the booklet would be of assistance to casual or
temporary dispensing doctor dispensers as well as those starting
off in a career in dispensing.
