Pharmacy 2u

So signed up to Pharmacy2u. Received all the repeat information from the Drs and put my first order in..... Then the good news stopped!

After 5 days the order was still with the Dr's. So i emailed them to ask if they had chased it, to get a response that said. It is ready in the Dr's for you to collect and take to the Pharmacy!!!

I might have overlooked the service but i through the point was they did all that, it seems not. I can easily do my own repeats and take to the chemist, but thought i would try this service without any joy. The worst part is that i had to email them to find out that it was in the Drs to collect, they never even told me!!

It doesn't sound worth it. I get my repeats online with my health centre. I order, they send it to the local chemist, I collect. Simple and effective and not middle man. I wonder if they charge the NHS anything for this magic service.

I received a letter which had obviously been made to look like a hospital appointment letter as it had an NHS logo on the envelope. This was just a Phamacy2U letter which looked like it had come from my GP's surgery as it even had the surgery's address on it. The letter suggested I change to them.

I checking this company out, they have previously been fined for selling patient details to third party companies so they are definitely not someone I want to deal with!

My local pharmacy has a notice to the effect that Pharmacy2U is not an NHS service and it is the supply of NHS prescriptions that makes the rest of the pharmacy's services viable.
