- Out of stock medication issues
- Repeat dispensing queries
- Blood pressure monitoring, BMI, weight and pulse recording
- Advice on what your medication is for and how best to take it
- Taking blood samples and ordering routine bloods
- Repeat prescription requests

Pharmacy Technicians are not prescribers and cannot sign off prescriptions but can request them as needed. Pharmacy Technicians cannot diagnose or review patients with long term conditions or acute illnesses (minor ailments).
