On line Repeat Prescription requesting – gets better
Save staff time, get rid of paperwork and make your practice more accessible and convenient for patients? How about secure repeat prescription requesting via the internet. The worry about “e-mail” is the fear of being deluged. With our system the practice controls who can use it and for how long. You choose and recruit and abusers can be terminated. Every request is recorded.

  • The practice selects patients the be offered the service
  • The practice generates a unique login for the patient
  • The patient submit their requests via the secure Patients Portal
  • Its ultra secure, no data that can identify any patient ever leaves your surgery
  • The requests arrive alongside your OOH messages – nothing new for your staff to learn, one system doing many tasks.

Even better – a wider range of communications
We’ve now extended this technology to cover a whole range of messages. Your patients can now be offered the opportunity to send in;

  • General messages – general enquiries and requests
  • Pre appointment notes – forewarning you of what they want to discuss
  • Chronic disease management, they can send in their Blood pressures, their blood sugars and their peak flow readings. These are posted as read coded data into your records and will qualify for QUOF points under QMAS.

SMS messaging to patients
But better still your staff can now use GePmail to send replies and responses to any messages patient’s send in. Just like the online repeat prescription requests you decide which patients to offer this to. Once they are registered you can send them reminders about appointments or comments on test results. To find out more visit the How to section on the web site. The Explanation document is to be given to patients, the “How to-..” documents are for you and your staff. Then talk to the support team to start using the system. Call them on 0845 330 9862.
