Tried App Again, Still Useless
Tried the App again to see if there was any improvement, there wasn’t. It is still useless for items that are classed as non repeat but are required on an ad hoc basis. The app also doesn’t take into account the holiday periods and factor in the days that GP surgeries/pharmacies are closed so for items that are required on a regular basis but are not showing yet as being available to reorder. This app is very basic and has far less functionality than that my practice website had before they were forced to uses this trash.
The developers might wish to review what GP functionality the practice websites used to provide with relation to prescriptions and consult non technically minded users of the system to find out what actual difficulties they are experiencing when reordering prescriptions. The current lack of functionality has resulted in my own case having to list all my current items that are required, on a regular and ad hoc basis, and submit this in person to the practice. This has therefore resulted in extra work/costs for the practice and myself.
