Pharmacy

The Pharmacy area is where pharmacy staff review prescriptions and check stock. In the sidebar it expands into two pages: Pharmacy (the dispensing queue) and Inventory (medication stock).

Dispensing queue

The Pharmacy page lists the clinic's active prescriptions, oldest first, with three stat cards at the top: active prescriptions, expiring within 7 days, and patients on medication. Search by patient, file number, medication, or prescriber, then Mark completed once a course has been dispensed.

A prescription is flagged Expiring only when its course ends within the next 7 days — courses that have already elapsed are no longer flagged.

Pharmacy can read and update prescriptions but never delete or create them — prescribing stays with clinicians.

Inventory

The Inventory page is a searchable view of the pharmacy's medication stock. Each item shows its strength and form, quantity on hand, shelf location, and an availability badge:

• In stock — above the reorder threshold.
• Low stock — at or below the reorder threshold.
• Out of stock — none on hand.

The stat cards summarise total medications, how many are low, and how many are out. Search by name, form, strength, or location.

Adding an item

Use the Add item button next to the search box to add a medication to stock. Only the name is required; you can also set the form, strength, quantity on hand, reorder point, shelf location, and expiry. The new item appears in the list right away.

Inventory is stored per clinic and exposed through the Inventory API. Pharmacy and full clinicians can edit it; reception and lab have no access.
