Prescriptions, delivered?


Recommended Posts

A quick google says between 70p and £2, 70p sounds very low, but if people are getting 2/3/4 items.

I would have thought having them delivered cuts down on other sales, they are like mini health shops. Selling things like blood pressure monitors and cough sweets.

 

A pharmacy is a business. If they get and retain more users by delivering prescriptions than it costs them why shouldnt they? :confused:

The chemist will earn more money from the profit they make, in buying the drugs which make up the prescription, than from the fee they get for processing the prescription. It really is common sense logic, that the more prescriptions a chemist handle, then the more revenue they earn.

 

Bye the way, is someone paying you a fee for every new topic you start ?

Our doctor sends the prescription electronically. We have it set up with the chemist to deliver. It's a great service

 

Chemists seem to pop up all over the place, new surgery building means a new dispensing chemist.

A profession not short on money, but then we will always be getting ill :hihi:
