Private healthcare patients can now benefit from secure home delivery of their private prescriptions, thanks to a new partnership between the nation’s largest online pharmacy, Pharmacy2U, and leading healthcare technology solutions provider, Healthcode.
With Healthcode’s intelligent platform, practitioners can now offer patients the option of paying online for their prescription and having it dispensed and delivered by Pharmacy2U the next day.
The partnership between Healthcode and Pharmacy2U comes at a time of growing demand for private healthcare services with providers sending a record volume of invoices to private medical insurers through Healthcode’s Clearing Service in 2024. Additional benefits for practitioners and patients include:
- Market-leading stock availability. Pharmacy2U has a stock availability rate of 95%, giving prescribers confidence that their patients will receive the treatments they need, when they need them
- Clinical excellence. Digital integration with BNF and dm+d enhance patient safety by providing real-time alerts with drug interactions, while Pharmacy2U’s dispensing process is fully aligned GPhC standards to ensure the highest levels of safety, accuracy and regulatory compliance
- Patient privacy. All prescription items are dispatched using plain, letterbox-friendly packaging to ensure discretion and confidentiality for patients
It also enables practitioners using Healthcode to further enhance choice, convenience and experience for their patients. It’s another innovative feature which integrates Hi (Healthcode Intelligence) to streamline processes like prescribing to save time, reduce admin burden and empower practitioners to deliver safe, compliant patient care.
Gary Dannatt, Chief of staff at Pharmacy2U, said:
“This partnership with Healthcode represents a significant leap forward in how we deliver patient care in the private healthcare sector. By integrating secure electronic prescriptions with our next-day delivery service, we are not only streamlining processes but also reinforcing our commitment to clinical safety and patient convenience. It’s a vital step in ensuring that patients can access the care they need quickly, safely and with full control.”
Jenny Murray, Director of Product Strategy and Delivery at Healthcode, added:
“Our collaboration with Pharmacy2U is a win-win for both healthcare professionals and patients. Healthcode’s technology speeds up the prescribing process, reducing the admin burden on practitioners, while offering patients a truly flexible service. This is the kind of patient-centric innovation that can transform how private healthcare is delivered making it easier for practitioners to simply and seamlessly deliver better patient care. It shows that we can help shape the future of healthcare by working together and leveraging our expertise in intelligent online solutions and cutting-edge technology.”
