Just for a laff I rang our local chemist to ask about the diffy 'twixt their service (it's called e-mis) and Pharmacy2U.
She said, a little bit diffidently, that she wasn't supposed to compare or advise but, "between us", their service offered a much more personal service - same day hand-to-hand delivery for urgent cases, and the possibility of postal delays with no redress. I mentioned the NHS logo, both on the tv advert and on the envelope I had received today and she said they are being a bit naughty in using that because they are not connected to the NHS at all.
Back in 2006 our GPs' surgery lettered all the patients to recommend e-mis and I've been with it ever since.
Forgot to say - under the emis website a patient can book appointments with a doctor as well.
Doesn't work of course, but that's not emis' fault. You have to turn up at Reception and fight for an appointment now if you want the doctor of your choice (which I do).
Interesting, wonder what the 'mis' stands for ..
Placi, I wonder if you need a different password to access the appointment system. We have to go to reception initially and they give you a password.
The website shows the available appointment times and which Dr. they're with for the following four weeks. Usually there's nothing available for the first three weeks. Sometimes if you look most days you might come across a cancellation.
You can't book any other appointments though such as one with the phlebotomist.
My local quack has the same system as Nuthatchs'. Anything other than a straight forward doctor's appointment requires a visit to the surgery and an encounter with the dragon on reception.
It's Egton Medical Information Systems. No secondary password needed; once you have access you're in: Appointments/Repeat Prescriptions/Patient History (which is purely a list of your medications).
I think this one boils down to around the same as both yours.
Mine came on for a little moment yesterday - just enuf time for me to post an amusing antidote, sorry, anecdote, elsewhere.
Toady it wouldn't let me in
