Even after lockdown, minimising human contact as much as possible has to be the best way forward and with restrictions being reintroduced as Covid cases rise, using digital services as much as you can is imperative.
It is likely that in autumn and winter, UK will experience a second spike in Covid-19 infections as the schools and Universities return for their first term of the academic year and more and more people go back to work.
The digital age has revolutionised certain processes making them quicker, streamlined and less labour intensive and one of these is online prescriptions. The most laborious and time-consuming for GPs and pharmacists have been their repeat prescription service, a necessity for many people with chronic health conditions and who are on long-term medication.
It couldn’t be more easier than to use an online prescription service or to order a repeat prescription online, you don’t even need to be computer literate or have an electronic device to benefit from this new digital service.
NHS repeat dispensing is an electronic process which allows a patient to obtain their NHS repeat prescription online if they wish without the need for the prescribing doctor to hand sign repeat prescriptions every time a request is made.
Ordering and collecting repeat prescriptions for long-term medication has always been a bugbear, remembering to order it on time, having to go the GP to obtain a repeat prescription and then take it to a pharmacist to have the medicines dispensed often requiring two trips to actually collect it.

Repeat prescriptions can involve both the patient and the GP surgery in repetitive administrative processes which are time-consuming, fiddly and can be subject to human error. Who hasn’t overlooked a repeat prescription at some time? And then there is all the hassle of ordering the repeat, going to pick up the actual piece of paper and then taking it to the chemist. Well now, with the new NHS repeat prescription online service, repeat prescriptions just got a whole lot easier.
Repeat Prescriptions can be a real chore, trekking to the GP surgery to pick up the paper script and then going to the chemist, sometimes twice if they are too busy to do it while you wait. And of course, with repeat prescriRepeatptions, you have to remember to order the medicines too.
