      • Other medications requiring Action include S8s, Insulin and Non-Packed Medications
      • Some medications may be marked as No Stock is Available

      This is an example of how the Drug Register directly interacts with the administration round. The medication will need to be added to the Drug Register before administration can be attempted.

      After you have received and recorded delivery of the medication from the supplier  – ‘Stock is now available’ will be written next to the medication.
