Prescriptions at click of a button with new Sam McCauley app

CONSUMERS can now say goodbye to long pharmacy queues and instantly view their medical history with the touch of a button following the launch of a new Sam McCauley Chemist App.

The all-in-one app provides a direct link to a local Sam McCauley outlet, allowing patients and carers to upload their prescriptions to the system and order within a few quick clicks. Once the prescription is ready, the app will send a notification directly to the phone and can be collected with the original paper prescription at the customer’s convenience.

This click-and-collect service is designed for busy parents and carers who can pre-order a prescription and avoid having to wait in queues for it to be prepared. The app also allows consumers to directly message their pharmacist with queries about their medicines and receive medication reminders.

It will be useful for consumers who require an out-of-hours emergency service, those attending a different GP, or people in caring roles for older people who often have several different prescriptions at one time.

Launching the app, Geraldine Ramage incoming Group Superintendent Pharmacist for Sam McCauley Chemists, said it will revolutionise medication management. ‘It will be very beneficial for parents of young children or those caring for the elderly as they will have the medication history of those they are caring for on their phone, subject to valid consent and for those attending emergency doctors or hospitals on holidays

Sam McCauley Chemists has approximately 200,000 unique patients annually across its 32 stores.
