FAQ
Q: Prescription refills - can I order prescriptions on behalf of my children or elderly parents?
A: Yes, this feature is now available! Go to the Me tab and it should be self-explanatory to add a dependent.
Q: Will you work with my GP?
A: Yes. The Dears Pharmacy App works with the majority of NHS GP’s in Scotland. All your prescription requests will be sent for approval to your own GP. (This doesn't guarantee your GP will issue a prescription)
Q: If I already order my prescriptions directly with my GP, do I still need your app?
A: It is helpful to use the Dears Pharmacy App. You can still order from your GP; the improvement is now that your pharmacy, via our app, will tell you when your medication is ready to collect or be delivered, and resolve any issues on behalf of you with your GP. You can also get free medication advice from your Dears Pharmacy with in-app messaging.
Q: What if my local pharmacy is not a Dears Pharmacy?
A: Any NHS pharmacy on the app are authorised to dispense your prescription medication. We recommend choosing the nearest Dears Pharmacy on the map that covers your area for delivery.

### 1/5 — Bugs on the app

*2024-08-09, version 13.3.4*

Not working properly, item said ready to collect and before that doctor approved. Go to pharmacy both pharmacy and doctors explain they’ve not had another prescription request from me this month at all! Can’t delete that order either since I’ve not been able to collect since order isn’t there.

### 4/5 — Not compatible with Apple iPad keyboard

*2024-07-18, version 13.3.4*

Screen does not rotate to accommodate the keypad so it is awkward to use. Otherwise app is straightforward except I cannot yet see how to remove an item that I accidentally added to the repeat prescription list.

### 1/5 — Not quick, not convenient.

*2024-05-29, version 13.3.4*

It takes almost 2 weeks for a prescription to ready to collect. I went to collect it after running out due to how long it took them to get it ready and they told me it wasn’t ready. I had to wait 15/20 minutes while they got it ready.
What is the point of offering prescription ordering on the app when it only takes 2 days if you do it person?

### 5/5 — P Dury

*2024-05-01, version 13.3.4*

Excellent service

### 1/5 — Ordering Prescriptions

*2023-11-29, version 13.1.3*

I’m always being contacted to order prescriptions even though I’ve done it 56 days before. Then throughout the time and then still have to  do it just before it’s due!! Why?

### 5/5 — Great service

*2023-07-19, version 12.3.16*

Can’t fault them, even when I’ve had an issue, Dears are on it quickly with a resolution.  Absolutely sterling service and wouldn’t go anywhere else now!
