Medicines Manager

Medicines Manager (MM)

Medicines Manager is an additional module available within ProScript Connect. To place an order, please contact your Technology Development Manager (TDM)

 Medicines Manager (MM) is part of the Pharmacy Access package and enables you to electronically request repeat medications directly into the GP surgery’s EMIS Web system.

ProScript Connect identifies patients who are eligible for the Medicines Manager service, provided their details are correct and they have a valid NHS number. Once registered for the service, the pharmacy uses the repeat medication list retrieved from the GP system to send electronic medication requests. Upon approval by the prescriber, the prescription is issued as either an EPS prescription or a regular RMS prescription.

There are three paths to process an MM repeat request from start to finish:

  • as a regular RMS Medicines Manager repeat request
  • as an MLP Medicines Manager repeat request
  • as an EPS Medicines Manager repeat request

In order for patients to be eligible for the Medicines Manager service they will need to meet the following criteria:

following criteria:

Given consent for GP Collection, Delivery and Electronic Scripts or EPS

 ✅

EPS registered (Patient must have valid NHS Number)

 ✅

Be associated with a Medicines Manager prescribing organisation

 ✅

You can access Medicines Manager from the ProScript Connect Main Screen by clicking the 

button if available, or by clicking  > Medicines Manager.

You must be logged in to the NHS Spine with your smart card to process any MM requests.

Managing MM Patient Registrations

The first stage of the process is to register eligible patients to Medicines Manager and obtain an up-to-date medication list. You can only register patients with a valid NHS number or equivalent and who belong to a surgery using EMIS Web.

Requesting MM Repeat Requests

Once a patient is registered for the service you can request a Medicines Manager repeat, which will have to be accepted by the surgery. This can be requested from MM, the PMR or via MLP when a request is received.

Managing MM Repeat Requests

It is important to update the statuses within the RMS, and MLP Manager where applicable and required. Updating statuses within MLP will send the patient push notifications to their smart phone or tablet if they have this enabled.
