Adding Batch Numbers for Drugs
The facility exists in Consultation Manager to add batch numbers when prescribing Acute Therapy. This is especially useful for immunisations such as the annual flu campaign.
Note that for a manufacturer to be listed in the drop-down box when adding a batch number, you will need to have added them in File Maintenance. If you need to add or amend any details, you can follow the instructions below this article
To add a batch number, right click on the drug name when entering it in Consultation Manager and choose Batch Numbers, then Add.
This will allow you to add details of a batch number.
Once the batch number has been added, it can be selected when the drug is prescribed again in the future - to view a list of batch numbers currently set up, click on the drop-down box, and all valid ones (i.e. those whose expiry date has not passed) will be listed.
