Use the approved order reference
Link the order to the practice's case reference and approved specification. Keep later requests separate until the qualified team has reviewed them. The assistant should compare references, not interpret or alter clinical values.
Distinguish supplier progress from practice receipt
Record the supplier's status and its date alongside the practice's receiving entry. Keep dispatch, receipt and professional check separate. If the record is incomplete, prepare the exact question reception needs answered before promising availability.
Prepare the collection communication
Use the practice's confirmed availability and appointment process. A prepared message is not a booked collection, and a booking is not an actual handover. Keep the final outcome linked to the same order reference.

No. Clinical and dispensing decisions remain with qualified professionals.
Does this apply to every eye doctor?
The workflow is for practices that manage optical orders. A practice without that service needs a different administrative example.
