What is a 24-hour prescription collection?

It’s probable that the majority of people are happy with the practice of writing prescriptions for medications. However, we know that it can be an inconvenience, particularly for those who are too preoccupied to go to the pharmacy and pick up their medicine.

Electronic prescriptions, as opposed to the conventional paper prescription pad, enable computer-based security. The prescription is electronically signed by the doctor and sent right away to the pharmacy. While the patient is on the way, the medications can be filled. You can then pick up your meds at your convenience.

Can I get a repeat prescription from a 24-hour chemist near me without going to the GP?

A repeat prescription means that you can get this medication from the pharmacy without first making a doctor’s appointment. However, you must first obtain a doctor’s approval before using the medication.

How do patients benefit from prescription collection & delivery?

You will benefit as a patient since you won’t need to get in touch with or visit your doctor each time your prescription runs out.

Please feel free to get in touch with us or your GP if your medication changes, you experience any side effects, or you feel that your medicine is not having the desired effect.

Why should I use a prescription collection service in a 24-hour chemist near me?

Using this service has the following benefits:

Improved patient care – Before the development of pharmacy automation technologies, a pharmacist would have to spend a lot of time manually counting, filling, capping, and labelling prescriptions. Now that the computer can finish these tasks fast, pharmacists have more time to address other pressing issues like giving vaccinations and offering blood pressure checks. Additionally, it enables pharmacists to spend more one-on-one time with patients, therefore, providing them with better care.

Increased productivity – When pharmacists have more free time, they have more time to handle other issues, which results in increased productivity. Prescriptions can be processed and made ready for pickup promptly via automated prescription filling systems at the pharmacies.

High patient satisfaction – A patient is more likely to be dissatisfied with the pharmacy’s services if they have to wait for a long time to get service or pick up a prescription. Our 24-hour prescription collection service considerably satisfies patients’ needs, thus improving satisfaction.

Reduced contact and no more queues – You no longer waste time waiting in a line since there are no queues. Additionally, it eliminates the need for one-to-one contact, minimising the risk of spreading diseases like Covid-19.

How do I use the 24-hour automated prescription collection?

To use our repeat prescription delivery service, you must first register with us. You will provide your health information, which includes your current repeat prescriptions and the name of your doctor. You’ll also need to allow us access to your bank account information so that we can easily collect payment for your prescriptions, but only if you pay for them, and after delivery.

Customers can pick up their medications at automated collection points in pharmacies that have adopted the electronic system. Usually, the machine is positioned outside the pharmacy for easy access.

The patient could find a convenient time to collect the medicines, even after business hours.
