Belinda Price

I consider myself to be friendly, compassionate, honest and hard working

I like to work in an organised friendly environment I enjoy interacting with both patients and colleagues

My role as prescription lead involved the following;

Prescriptions requests were received in many different ways

• Secure email ( requests from Pharmacies, Appliance Companies, District Nurses and Hospitals)
• Prescription phone line messages
• Repeat prescription slips received from patients and pharmacies
• Telephone calls from patients, pharmacies and hospitals
• e-consults
• Face to face queries at the prescription desk Signposting to a pharmacy when necessary

Roles/Tasks:

• Send accrx messages to patients for medication reviews if requested by GP or Pharmacist ( I would send messages for BP reviews if a Pill Check was needed)
• Kept a spreadsheet to order weekly/daily prescriptions for controlled drugs
• Printed blister pack prescriptions requested by pharmacy, these could be Repeat Dispensing or normal 28 days
• Solve problem if prescription would not go EPS, ie; check PDS, dispensing patient, or correct allergy code error
• Change prescription destination when necessary
• Order Prescription boxes and GP Personalised prescriptions for home visits Log all boxes received and sign script boxes in and out daily
• Update Teams message to GP's if a medication was unavailable (usually advised by the pharmacy)
• Train receptionists how to put through prescription requests
• Saving all email prescription requests to patient records

I was also trained in summarising patient records and coding any new diagnosis from hospital letters A new diagnosis or any safeguarding concerns would be brought to the GP's attention
