      Key points:

      Many secondary care physicians do not prescribe in outpatients but ask primary care colleagues to prescribe.

      In primary care nearly all prescriptions are transmitted to pharmacies electronically saving printing materials and travel between the practice and the pharmacy for patients and staff.
