Correct answer: B — Supply date; medicine details; prescriber and patient names and addresses; prescription date

Regulation 253 and Schedule 23 require the pharmacy record to capture the supply date; the medicine’s name, quantity and, where needed, form and strength; the prescriber’s name and address; the patient’s name and address; and the date on the prescription. The record is not an NHS reimbursement claim, controlled-drug register or substitute clinical consultation record.
