A method of “marking” the prescription “at the time of supply” should be decided to ensure compliance with the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001. The dispense notification message may be suitable for this but depending on local system configuration, another patient medication record (PMR) process that records a date and leaves an electronic audit trail may be suitable. For more than 15 years, Ayrshire & Arran Health Board has benefited from hospital electronic prescribing and medicines administration software (HEPMA). This allows users to electronically prescribe and administer medicines to inpatients. Among many of the benefits of this resource, is its paper-lite nature and ability to access the system remotely. Prescriptions for Schedule 2, 3 and 4 CDs are only valid for 28 days after the appropriate date (i.e. date of signing unless the prescriber indicates a date before which the CD should not be dispensed). Note: a prescriber may forward-date a CD prescription in which case the date of validity is 28 days after the forward-date, or the start date, where specified. SOPs: Pharmacy contractors are required under their terms of service to have SOPs for dispensing and repeat dispensing. The regulations now also require SOPs relating to the management and use of controlled drugs to cover the following points: Any person authorised to witness the destruction of CDs by the accountable officer should have the appropriate training and will be accountable for this directly to the CDAO.

Electronic Controlled Drug Registers: Pharmacists are allowed legally to keep CDRs electronically (as an alternative to having a bound-book CDs register) if they wish to do so providing they comply with the legislation. The Regulations require that every computerised entry must be attributable and capable of being audited. The computerised register must be accessible from the premises to which it relates and persons authorised by the Secretary of State (e.g., the Society’s inspectors) are able to request that a copy of the register, in its computerised or other specified form, be sent to them. a b Andy McFadden (8 August 2007). "CD-Recordable FAQ". Archived from the original on 20 September 2007 . Retrieved 20 September 2007. Controlled Drug Registers: A Controlled Drugs Register (CDR) must be used to record details of any Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 CDs received or supplied by a registered pharmacy. The 2001 regulations also require that additional information should be recorded in the CDR in relation to the identity of the person collecting a schedule 2 CD supplied on prescription.

SVCD has two-thirds the resolution of DVD, and over 2.7 times the resolution of VCD. One CD-R disc can hold up to 60 minutes of standard-quality SVCD-format video. While no specific limit on SVCD video length is mandated by the specification, one must lower the video bit rate, and therefore quality, to accommodate very long videos. It is usually difficult to fit much more than 100 minutes of video onto one SVCD without incurring a significant quality loss, and many hardware players are unable to play a video with an instantaneous bit rate lower than 300 to 600 kilobits per second.File, FLAC, Reissue , 24-Bit, 44.1 kHz; File, FLAC, Reissue , 16-Bit, 44.1 kHz; 15×File, FLAC , 24-Bit, 44.1 kHz; All Media, Compilation The format was later adapted (as CD-ROM) for general-purpose data storage.

RPS guidance confirms that additional relevant information can be added without breaking the law. Further guidance on the details required in the SOPs for CDs can obtained from the RPS and templates for CD SOPs may be obtained from the NPA. the person in charge or acting person in charge of a hospital, organisation providing ambulance services or care home*;GP practices have been informed they should not prescribe oral liquid methadone via EPS.
