Original Pack Dispensing (OPD)
Supporting safe, efficient, and compliant dispensing with OPD functionality within ProScript Connect.
What is OPD?
New NHS regulations now allow pharmacists in England to supply up to 10% more or less than the prescribed quantity for eligible prescriptions.
While some medications -like controlled drugs -are exempt, OPD* gives pharmacists the flexibility to use their clinical judgement to enhance patient care and operational efficiency.*
