This month our module is about veterinary dispensing. Dispensing includes everything between the act of prescribing and a medicine being issued to the owner or administered to the patient. It is crucial that the right patient gets the effective form of the right medicine in the correct dosage and quantity, with the right instructions and packaging. If any of these steps fail, serious harm can be caused by medication errors. The learning module on dispensing is in two parts. Part 1 focuses on the physical aspects of the dispensary and its organisation. Part 2 next month will be about the dispensing process, including dispensing errors and how to avoid them.
