    I love the smell of FP10's in the morning.

    (Warm ones coming out of the endorsing printer).

    Soon you can say 'I love the smell of dispensing tokens in the morning'.

    One thing - you won't need to endorse these - all done electronically.

    Unless you have lots of terminals with EPS2 we will go from doctors printing scripts to pharmacists printing tokens. Should be fun in the 500+ a day shops.
    A ream of paper per day, a toner per week, an industrial shredder...

    Don't shred all your tokens!
    You need to retain the ones that have to be signed by patients who complete the exemption declaration, just as is done with the standard FP10.
    I'm told this will not be required for patients who are automatically exempt.

    Lets hope the PPD (PPA) get it right with their software.

    For example they count the age exemption for the day when the script was dispensed under age exemption for under 16's or 17's (education), rather than the age when the script is processed by them; otherwise there will be lots of 'virtual bundle switching' and a lot of unhappy contractors.

    Ah yes forgot that.

    I'll update my post to a double sided printer and medium duty shredder.

    A fight, what a stupid way of sorting things out!

    A careful evaluation of the systems should be done according to the following protocol

    Pharmacy Systems Drop Test.

    Get a Link system and a Nexphase system.

    Drop them both from the same height.

    Whichever still works is the best!

    Yes, sometimes watch the TV Burp - and he is funny.

    However, since I'm from the 'Python' generation a race to Bristol would be more decisive.
    The first system to arrive would be the best.
