[Revised Sep 04]
Some times an apparently, (but not actually), expired repeat must be dispensed.
E.g. a repeat may be repeated off the returned bottle on the 16th, may expire on 18th and it is not until 20th that it gets entered into the computer. When it is 'repeated' into the computer, the 'date dispensed' will be set to '20th' which is incorrect as it makes it appear to have been dispensed after it has expired. To correct this;
To dispense a repeat after apparent expiry
Dispense or repeat as normal, changing the 'date dispensed' .
Previous Date of Supply
A field 'Previous Date of Supply' is on the Repeats tab. If Not Applicable it should be blank.
