Repeat Prescribing and Medicines Safety, start to finish.
This training ensures our whole practice team operates safe repeat prescribing systems and supports medicines safety. You will learn the repeat prescribing process from request to issue, your role in keeping patients safe, and how we prevent medication errors. This is the same module CareStream subscribers get, written for care settings rather than adapted from a generic course. It runs about 35 minutes and ends with a 20 question assessment.
- The Repeat Prescribing Journey and Your Role
Every repeat prescription request follows a journey through our practice.
- Safety Checks at Each Stage
At every stage of the repeat prescribing process there are specific safety checks.
- Medication Reviews and Structured Medication Reviews
Regular medication review is central to safe repeat prescribing.
- High Risk Medicines and Monitoring
Some medicines are high risk and demand particular care.
- Recognising and Preventing Prescribing Errors
Common prescribing errors include allergies, interactions, incorrect doses, duplication and wrong quantities.
- Safety Alerts, Searches and Controlled Drugs
When a Drug Safety Update or National Patient Safety Alert arrives, we must act.
What your team will be able to do.
- Describe the repeat prescribing process and the safety checks required at each stage
- Identify high risk medicines that require particular monitoring and the checks needed before authorising repeats
- Explain when a medication review or structured medication review is needed and why this matters for patient safety
- Recognise common prescribing errors including interactions, allergies, incorrect doses and monitoring failures
- Apply the correct procedures when processing repeat requests, querying concerns and acting on safety alerts

What staff come away with
Repeat prescribing is a team effort with safety checks at every stage from processing to authorisation
High risk medicines like warfarin, methotrexate and lithium require specific monitoring that must be current before repeats are issued
Medication reviews and structured medication reviews prevent harm by checking medicines are still needed and stopping unnecessary ones
Common errors include allergies, interactions, incorrect doses, duplication and monitoring failures; flag concerns rather than processing requests that look wrong
Act immediately on Drug Safety Updates and National Patient Safety Alerts by searching for affected patients and taking action
Medicines safety is a shared responsibility across the whole practice team, supported by honest reporting and learning from errors

Before you buy.
How long does Repeat Prescribing and Medicines Safety training take?
About 35 minutes, across 6 short lessons, followed by a 20 question assessment with a pass mark of 80%. Staff can stop and pick up where they left off.
What does the Repeat Prescribing and Medicines Safety module cover?
6 lessons: The Repeat Prescribing Journey and Your Role, Safety Checks at Each Stage, Medication Reviews and Structured Medication Reviews, High Risk Medicines and Monitoring, Recognising and Preventing Prescribing Errors and Safety Alerts, Searches and Controlled Drugs. Each one pairs the teaching with a care scenario and a quick check.
How often do staff need to refresh Repeat Prescribing and Medicines Safety?
CareStream sets this module so it renews every year. Staff and managers are reminded before a certificate lapses, so the refresher is booked before the gap appears.
Is Repeat Prescribing and Medicines Safety completed fully online?
Yes. It is knowledge based, so staff complete the lessons and the assessment online and receive their certificate at the end. There is no practical sign-off.
Do I need a CareStream subscription to buy this?
No. This page exists precisely so you do not. You buy the licences you need, your staff complete the module in the CareStream hub, and that is the end of it. There is no trial to start, no card kept on file, and no subscription that begins quietly afterwards.
If you later decide you want the full platform, anything your staff have already completed carries across into your account.
What does one licence actually cover?
One licence covers one named member of staff for this one module, including the lesson, the assessment, any follow-up questions triggered by a wrong answer, and their certificate. Licences are not shared between people, because the completion record has to belong to an individual to be worth anything at inspection.
How quickly can staff start?
Immediately. The licences are on your account as soon as the payment clears, and staff get their invite the moment you add them. There is no onboarding call and no setup period.
Can staff complete it in another language?
Yes. Each staff member has a first language on their profile, and the lesson, the questions and the feedback all arrive in it. They answer in that language too. What you see as a manager stays in English, so the record reads the same whoever completed it.
What if someone fails the assessment?
Nothing is lost. A wrong answer triggers a short follow-up lesson on that specific point, and they retry it. The record shows the improvement from the first attempt to the latest, which is stronger evidence than a single pass mark, because it shows the gap was found and closed.
Can I buy for more than one service?
Yes. Buy the total number of licences you need and allocate them across your services when you add staff. If you are licensing for a group and want an invoice rather than a card payment, get in touch and we will raise one.
Licence any of these the same way.
Same price, same terms, no subscription needed.
