Original Pack Dispensing (OPD) Webinar
Published on: 29th November 2024 | Updated on: 2nd December 2024
Community Pharmacy England hosted a webinar on the introduction of Original Pack Dispensing (OPD) on Monday, 25th November, at 7:30 pm.
In September, amendments were made to pharmacy regulations to introduce OPD +/- 10% dispensing for NHS prescriptions. Starting 1st January 2025, these amendments require the supervising pharmacist to consider dispensing up to 10% more or less than the prescribed quantity when appropriate, allowing pharmacists the flexibility to supply medicines in the manufacturer’s original pack.
The webinar featured in-house experts explaining these regulatory changes, their practical implications, and potential adjustments to dispensing processes.
