Can prescribers use adhesive labels on CD prescriptions for the patient’s details?

0

In England and Wales, although not encouraged, the patient’s details (eg, name and address) can be attached to the CD prescription on an adhesive label as long as the label is tamper evident. If such a label is used, the prescriber should also sign on the label or at least start his or her signature on the label. In Scotland, because all prescriptions are scanned by NHS National Services Scotland, the use of adhesive labels is not acceptable.
