    Boots online prescription service

    So..... Boots just recently launched their online prescription service today!
    What do you guys think about this service and how do you think it would change the way people obtain their prescriptions?

    Probably increase gradually as most of us computer users reach the silver-surfer age... if we still have the mental capacity and/or steadiness of hand to operate the mouse.

    Given that patients can nominate a pharmacy when EPSR2 (if and when it) starts its possibly an attempt at a 'land grab' to try and lock people into thinking that's the only place for prescriptions.
    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................

    Trouble is, if online Pharmacy make a mistake, its the high street branches that have to pick up the pieces. Recently had a lady come to us that had been using that service, her medication was in a right muddle!

    But doesn't a doctor screen whether their medication is suitable first? =S

    Kinda sounds like high street branches are trying to find a place in the online pharmaceutical industry.

    But other than that, I think its a reasonably sound idea to have the convenience of being able to order your medicines from home.
    Just need to smooth out all the kinks and creases.

    DM having a fit today re EHC over the net. No worries really, youngsters will want for free and not expect to pay anything.
    In the past the 'wages of sin was death'. Now the wages of sin are a free flat and all found.
