National Health Regulations allow pharmacists to dispense medicine before the customer has supplied a written prescription.

In urgent cases, a prescriber may tell you the details of the prescription or send a fax of the written and signed prescription. This type of prescription is an Owing prescription. 

There are two stages to managing an owing prescription:

• Dispensing the supply as an owing prescription
• Receiving the owing script

Both of these workflows will be covered in this module.
