I did installations for John Richardson's / Cegedim Rx between 1990 and 2015, (with two or three hiatuses). Normal Bell Chemists, Church Street, Tetbury from 1984 to 1998 and then within the Docs Surgery on Long Street to 2007. Then we sold out to Assura for whom I worked for a couple of years, then retired in 2010. I started off with a system from a Liverpool firm (Parkers?) running on Amstrads, then I wrote my own software in QuickBasic and then switched to using Mike Hadley's (Hadley Hutt) system when it all got too involved for me to keep up with software developments. I think we used Cegedim with Assura. I don't think I ever went to Tetbury, but one of the outfits I worked for who did the installations and hardware support for Richardson / NDC, had its HO in Gloucester. Maybe Badham's? -- Bob Tetbury, Gloucestershire, England Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. - Mark Twain |

They might fax a copy to be dispensed and then not released until later AFTER they have received a legal prescription but that would just be a waste of time and effort. I don't know about that, next time we're in there I'll ask, but use fax for sending prescriptions they certainly do. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46497526 |

I love faxes, the problem is nobody sends me any these days :-( I can't remember the last time I saw a fax *machine* being used for sending/receiving faxes. I used to "print" documents to Windows Fax Service which used my dial-up/fax modem. For receiving, my ISP used to provide a fax number that was different for each of their customers; faxes sent to that number automatically sent me an email with the pages of the fax added as JPG file attachments. |

Perhaps they could do with some FAX machines! |

We have a multi-function printer (Samsung CLX-6260FW) which has a dedicated landline connection for fax as well as the Ethernet connection. I think most of the MFD devices do, certainly the big floor standing A3 one in my old office did. -- Ria in Aberdeen [Send address is invalid, use sipsoup at gmail dot com to reply direct] |

Maybe one day the NHS will be dragged into the 20th century (not even 21st) and it will be possible for the doctor to make up a prescription of several items, ask "where do you want it dispensed" and submit the prescription, certified by electronic key exchange, so the pharmacist dispenses it in time for when you get there, without any paper or scanning thereof involved. But still with the option of giving the patient a paper prescription if he doesn't want to commit to one particular chemist. When a patient presents a prescription for a doctor that the pharmacy doesn't know (eg I go to my GP at home and take the prescription to be dispensed near where I work) how often does the pharmacist contact the GP surgery for authentication? Always, usually or rarely? |

But still with the option of giving the patient a paper prescription [3] if he doesn't want to commit to one particular chemist. With some variations and exceptions, this is the method adopted by our surgery. [1] - the pharmacy has to be pre-designated but may be changed. [2] - for some reason, although the prescription is electronically sent whilst I am with the doctor, I still get to the pharmacy (1mile away) before the prescription. [3] - the pharmacist *must* print out the prescription and give it to the patient with the medication (or without if not available. The patient then takes it to an alternative pharmacy). The prescription may be used to apply for repeat medications. In fact, the electronic approach may be over the top. I can take the prescription into the surgery when 'available repeat number' is down to zero and the receptionist will reset to seven without reference to a doctor. -- Flop I want to re-marry my ex.

They've got them, it's how they send urgent ones. The pharmacy still sends someone round all the local surgeries every day though. Indeed they have. The 9000 machines being quoted in the current news reports must only be in the core NHS, and not include their contractors like community pharmacies. As I said elsewhere in this thread, pretty much all community pharmacies have one, so that's another 14,000 units. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |
