Working together for the patient
COVID-19 has changed how the UK thinks about healthcare forever. The pandemic put the NHS – how it works, how it is funded and what its future might be – at the centre of the biggest news story of our lifetimes. This historic challenge has demanded significant sacrifices from NHS clinicians and patients, but has also sparked extraordinary fresh thinking, creativity and innovation across our healthcare system.
Pharmaceutra is a different kind of pharmacy:
- no waiting in line
- no picking up & dropping off repeat prescriptions
- no waiting for medicine stock to come in
- no worrying about running out of medicines
- the convenience of modern tools: mobile app, reminders to reorder, ability to manage your repeat prescriptions online, friendly pharmacists available to assist
How Pharmaceutra works for GPs & the NHS
With 43% of the UK population currently receiving a repeat prescription, it currently costs the NHS £8 billion each year1. Here’s how Pharmaceutra helps GPs and the NHS:
- 60 days a year1 are saved by each GP practice when patients use online ordering including with Pharmaceutra
- £155 million is saved by the NHS thanks to online ordering1
- Pharmaceutra’s dispensing costs are 16% to 29% cheaper to the NHS than other methods2
