NHS Digital began to pilot the prescribing and dispensing of EPS Schedule 2 and 3 Controlled Drugs (CDs) in England. From early October 2018, ten GP practices initially were granted ability to prescribe CDs with the project aiming to demonstrate that EPS CD prescribing capability is safe and appropriate to be rolled out more widely.

VinylDisc is the hybrid of a standard audio CD and the vinyl record. The vinyl layer on the disc's label side can hold approximately three minutes of music. Super Video CD (Super Video Compact Disc or SVCD) is a format used for storing video media on standard compact discs. SVCD was intended as a successor to VCD and an alternative to DVD-Video and falls somewhere between both in terms of technical capability and picture quality. It’s designed to replace bulky and inefficient paper registers with simple, intuitive cloud-based software.SOPs: Pharmacy contractors are required under their terms of service to have SOPs for dispensing and repeat dispensing. The regulations now also require SOPs relating to the management and use of controlled drugs to cover the following points: Note: exemptions from those who must provide a requisition form include those for use in a prison; or for use in a care home, which as its whole or main purpose provides palliative care for persons resident there who are suffering from a progressive disease in its final stages (e.g. a ‘hospice’). SVCD has two-thirds the resolution of DVD, and over 2.7 times the resolution of VCD. One CD-R disc can hold up to 60 minutes of standard-quality SVCD-format video. While no specific limit on SVCD video length is mandated by the specification, one must lower the video bit rate, and therefore quality, to accommodate very long videos. It is usually difficult to fit much more than 100 minutes of video onto one SVCD without incurring a significant quality loss, and many hardware players are unable to play a video with an instantaneous bit rate lower than 300 to 600 kilobits per second.

Provide additional useful features for compliance such as dispensary duty logs, responsible pharmacist logs, specials recording logs, fridge temperature recording, as well as near miss, errors logs and much more Bodies corporate, partnerships and/or individuals operating fewer than 5 community pharmacies may not have suitably trained individuals designated as Authorised Witnesses. To facilitate the timely destruction of obsolete CDs, NHS England will designate sufficient, suitably trained, individuals and/or class of person as Authorised Witnesses. This may include NHS England employees and/or agents, representatives of the appropriate Local Pharmaceutical Committee and/or persons nominated as appropriate to undertake the role by a recognised trade association such as the National Pharmacy Association or Independent Pharmacy Federation. All private prescribers have been allocated a six-digit prescriber identification number (issued by the relevant NHS agency) which must be included on private form FP10PCD (or the Welsh or Scottish equivalent). Private prescriptions for Schedule 2 or 3 CDs should not be dispensed in community pharmacies if they do not contain this identifier. Private prescribers should be r eferred to their primary care organisation (e.g. local NHS England team) if they require a private prescriber identification number.

The compact disc ( CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was co-developed by Philips and Sony to store and play digital audio recordings. In August 1982, the first compact disc was manufactured. It was then released in October 1982 in Japan and branded as Digital Audio Compact Disc.

[17] Kees Schouhamer Immink received a personal technical Emmy award for his contributions to the coding technologies of the Compact Disc, DVD, and Blu-ray disc. Video CD (VCD, View CD, and Compact Disc digital video) is a standard digital format for storing video media on a CD. VCDs are playable in dedicated VCD players, most modern DVD-Video players, personal computers, and some video game consoles. The VCD standard was created in 1993 by Sony, Philips, Matsushita, and JVC and is referred to as the White Book standard. EPS CD piloting for EMIS and Vision GP systems is completed. Microtest piloting is not yet completed. See the table: System First released in 2006, ‘Get the Message: The Best Of Electronic’ is the career spanning collection from the Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner band who released a string of critically acclaimed hits including their debut single ‘Getting Away With It’, ‘Get The Message’ ‘Disappointed’ and ‘Feel Every Beat’. This compilation captures the very essence of their groundbreaking sound, blending Marr’s distinctive guitar work with Sumner’s vocals and guest features from Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant (Getting Away With It, Disappointed) and Kraftwerk’s Karl Bartos (For You, Imitation Of Life).

The format was later adapted (as CD-ROM) for general-purpose data storage. Several other formats were further derived, including write-once audio and data storage ( CD-R), rewritable media ( CD-RW), Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Photo CD, Picture CD, Compact Disc-Interactive ( CD-i), Enhanced Music CD, and Super Audio CD (SACD) which may have a CD-DA layer. where the total quantity of the CD/number of dosage units is specified in either words or figures but not both, a pharmacist can add either the missing words or figures as required (but not both) Community Pharmacy England is the operating name of the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee.
