Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a monitoring method and system for monitoring the dispensing of medicaments in a hospital from a portable medicament dispensing station. The medicament dispensing station (3) has a first identification means (9) and a second identification means (13) for capturing identifiers relating to an individual wishing to dispense a medicament. A releasable locking mechanism (23) is provided that will allow dispensing of medicaments on appropriate identifiers being captured and authenticated. The identifier data is transmitted to a monitoring unit (5) over a communications network (8) and is stored in a remote monitoring unit memory (7) for future reference. By implementing such a system and method, tampering with the data input to the system is obviated and traceability and accountability are facilitated. 7T7R1 Ar
