Briefing 029/24: The electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD) cycle

eRD allows the prescriber to authorise and issue repeat prescriptions electronically. eRD prescription issues include the usual information on electronic prescription service (EPS) prescriptions and additionally, the interval between each issue (e.g. 28 days) and how many times the repeatable prescription can be issued (e.g. 13 times). The steps in the eRD cycle are described below, with some optional steps near the beginning that help eRD work optimally for all involved.
