EPRESCRIPTIONS HAVE ARRIVED!
Introducing eScripts
eScripts are electronic prescriptions, enabling convenient access to your scripts from your mobile phone or email. An eScript is electronically generated by your GP and sent directly to your mobile phone (via SMS) or email. It can be used in the same way as a paper prescription; to obtain medicine from your pharmacy. As eScripts are touch-free, the risk of infection being spread is reduced, so we encourage you to try eScripts for your next prescription.
Do we accept eScrips?
We certainly do!
How do eScripts work?
- Ask your doctor for an electronic (eScript) prescription
- A unique QR barcode (called a ‘token’) will be sent to your mobile phone or email, along with important information about your medication. You can also send this to the TerryWhite Chemmart Health App. If you have multiple prescriptions, you will receive a separate token for each.
- Present your token when you visit your local TerryWhite Chemmart – your pharmacist will scan the token to unlock the eScript. If using the Health app, send your scripts to be filled remotely and select either Home Delivery or Click & Collect. Your details are kept completely confidential and safe.
- Once your eScript is filled, your token is no longer valid. Repeats will be automatically sent to you as new eScript tokens.
Why use eScripts?
- Convenient: eScripts are stored on your smart device, and can be accessed at any time
- Safe: touchless eScripts lessen the risk of infection being spread in pharmacy
- Hard to lose: you’ll never spend time hunting among bits of loose paper or accidentally dispose of your scripts again
- Eco-friendly: eScripts are paperless, which means less printing of paper, contributing to a healthier environment
Preparing for eScripts
- Check your local GP is able to provide an electronic prescription.
- Ensure your address, email address and mobile number are up to date with your doctor and pharmacy.
- It is best to check you have received your token before you leave the Doctor’s.
