GP Practice Administrator Sentenced for Prescription Fraud A former GP Practice Administrator from Folkestone, Kent, was recently sentenced for fraudulently obtaining prescription drugs. The individual, who was employed between February 2020 and June 2023, misused their access to patient records to create unauthorised entries for the painkiller Tramadol. They would then print prescriptions and subsequently cancel the records, using both their own username and those of other staff members. The Practice Administrator collected the Tramadol from various pharmacies, fuelling an addiction to the potent opioid. In total, 232 fraudulent prescriptions were created, resulting in the acquisition of 22,252 Tramadol tablets.
