    Hi Lawrence,
    absolutely. Talking to some care home pharmacists recently there are a range of different processes and there is now a remote (online) pharmacy model to add to the complexity! I suspect the logistics of the repeat prescribing process will play a big role.

      Hi Nuala,

      Would you consider including Oral Nutritional Supplements in the scope? Many nursing homes have large stocks and the questions you propose to explore would be equally valid. Happy to discuss further if helpful rebecca.fisher@nhs.lpp.uk

      I think checking out the repeat ordering systems and processes is key to this . I suspect a lot of variation but may be some examples of good practice to share ?
