Abstract
An automated pharmaceutical dispensing system comprises a retrieval subsystem (4) for selecting and retrieving a pharmaceutical pack (38). The retrieval subsystem (4) is arranged to deliver the pack (38) to a labelling station (6). The labelling station (6) comprises a label printer (18) arranged to print a label (36) comprising information specific to a patient for whom said pharmaceutical pack (38) is intended and a label applicator subsystem (22) for applying the label (36) to the pack (38). The system further comprises a delivery subsystem (8) for delivering the pack from the labelling station to a user-accessible point. The label applicator can apply the label (36) in a way determined by a dimension of the pack (38)--e.g. at a predetermined position, predetermined orientation or across two discrete planes of the pack (38).
