1. I confirm that:
a. the items in this prescription are only for the use of the patient named in this prescription; b. I have the appropriate training and insurance for the prescribing and administration of the treatments in this prescription; c. the patient has nominated JECT Limited as their pharmacy for dispensing1 this prescription d. the Customer has obtained the informed consent of the patient to the ordering, receiving, storing and paying for the items listed in this prescription and sharing the personal information (including any patient delivery address2 ) in this prescription with JECT Limited; e. if I consider it appropriate for a qualified practitioner to administer this prescription to my patient under my direction, the named practitioner has been appropriately trained and insured, and I consider the said practitioner to be competent for such administration; f. I am fully aware of and accept clinical, professional and legal responsibility for prescribing outside the licensed indications of any of the prescribed products (if any); g. I have informed the patient of any storage instructions in relation to the items in the prescription; h. the consultation and diagnosis leading to the treatment prescribed for this patient is based on my clinical judgement and I understand that VAT will not be charged on the prescription solely because it is for the healthcare treatment of this patient; i. I take full responsibility for the items in the prescription on the basis that prescribing them is in the best interests of patient safety and consistent with professional conduct.
2. I agree to: a. adhere to the rules set out by all applicable regulatory bodies including but not limited to the GPHC, MHRA, HMRC, CQC associated with my practice and procedures; b. take responsibility for submitting a non-prescription order where the order is not for the healthcare treatment of the patient so that VAT is charged at the standard rate. 1 For these purposes, ‘dispensing’ includes receiving the prescrip5on from the pa5ent (or pa5ent’s representa5ve); carrying out appropriate legal checks including pharmacist clinical checks; and arranging payment and delivery. 2 The chosen delivery address (and any authorised recipient at this address) should be an address where product integrity is not compromised and the product is kept safe and secure from mis-use; and which does not jeopardise the personal data of the pa5ent.
