Managing Prescriber Details for Clinical Staff

Purpose

When adding a prescribing staff member, it's important to record their prescriber type and professional registration codes. This guides outlines how to manage prescriber types and registration codes in Medicus.

Recording the prescriber type

There are two ways you can record the prescriber type for a staff member:

1. When adding a new staff member, there is the field to add the prescriber type within the 'Add Staff Member' form.
2. You can add or update prescriber details of an existing staff member from within the 'Staff Details' section.

When adding or editing the prescriber type, you will select the prescriber type of the staff member from the dropdown menu.

Adding professional registration codes 

Depending on what type of staff member you select, you'll be required to add additional information around the staff member's professional registration codes before you're able to click the 'Save' button.

For example, recording a prescriber type as 'Doctor' requires the GMC number and prescriber number.
