From your order history you can click on the re-order button. This will duplicate the order you wish to re-order and open it in a new order page.

You can also add to this re-order if you wish.

Can I see an order history?

Yes. As you create orders in the e-pharmacy, your order history will be created. Over time your order history will give you a complete record of all the orders you have placed through the e-pharmacy. Currently it is not possible to add orders that you have made prior to being activated on the e-pharmacy. From your order history you can also chose to view an order, action orders needing attention, re-order and review previous orders. Your order history will also show you the status of any orders you have in the e-pharmacy informing you what stage in the process the order is and what you need to do next, if anything.

What are the delivery options from the e-pharmacy?

The delivery options available on the e-pharmacy are the same as they have been previously. You can select from Royal mail, Couriers, Timed Deliveries and Saturday Deliveries on most items. Items that need to be kept refrigerated are generally not available for Saturday Delivery, however it can be arranged via Customer Services.

How do I place an order?

Placing an order on the e-pharmacy is easy. Simply log-in to your account and choose ‘New Order’. You will be asked if you want to place a stock only order or if you want to place a mixed order for prescription AND stock items. Click on the option you need and you can then start adding products to your order.

If you are placing a mixed order you can select a patient name from the drop down and add in the products you need for that patient. Once you have finished with that patient, you can choose another patient and add items to them. Creating orders this way means you build one order but only pay 1 set of postage charges.

Can I track my orders?

Yes – Whilst you are creating an order you will notice that your order has certain statuses depending on where it is in the order process cycle. Once your order has been approved and dispatched, tracking and courier information are available either by clicking the Green target icon next to an order or looking in the order summary.

Can my staff create orders on my behalf?

Yes. One of the reasons the e-pharmacy was developed was to reduce the administration time of clinic owners and prescribers. If you have other members of staff, they can be set up with different levels of access and create orders on the account – saving you time.

A non prescriber or administrator of your account can create an order with prescription items in it on an account, but a prescriber will be required to sign the order before we process it.

Can I order prescription items online?

Yes, if you are a prescriber on the account. The e-pharmacy allows prescription items to be ordered, however before we will approve an order with prescription items in it, a named prescriber on your account will have to e-sign the order. Without the signature from a prescriber, the order will not be processed.

A non prescriber or administrator of your account can create an order with prescription items in it on an account, but a prescriber will be required to sign the order before we process it.

Trouble Shooting

I have completed an order, but need to change something?

You can amend an order right up to the point when it is signed (if prescription order). If you need to add something to your order, you can log into your order and add in the new products. You will also need to complete and pay for the order again, however your card is never charged until we approve the order. You cannot amend a prescription order that has been signed. If your order has been signed please contact Customer Services who can unlock your order and allow you to make the changes you need.

I cannot see the Sign button?

Most probably because you are not a prescriber on the account, only registered prescribers have the functionality to sign an order. If you are a prescriber and cannot see the Sign button (pen icon) please contact customer services on +44 (0)1481 736837

The e-pharmacy isn’t displaying correctly on my computer?

The most common reason that the e-pharmacy website doesn’t display correctly on a computer is that the browser you are using is an old version. The e-pharmacy doesn’t display well on older versions of Internet Explorer, and is best viewed in IE11, Chrome or Firefox. Updating your browser to the latest version will probably solve this issue for you. You should always make sure that when you are downloading from the Internet you download from reputable sites and have the adequate anti-virus software running on your computer.

If you are not using an older version and are still having issues you can try pressing CTRL F5 for a PC or CMD R for a Mac to force a refresh of your screen.

I’m trying to sign an order but have ‘insufficient signing rights’?

You are seeing this notice because either the order your are signing, or the products you are signing for need to be signed by a Prescriber. Please call our Customer Service team on +44 (0)1481 736 837 who will be able to assist you further.

Hints & Tips

Avoid Multiple Delivery Charges

If you need to make multiple orders that will be delivered to the same delivery address you can combine them into one order and therefore only pay for one delivery charge. Select your first patient add the products you need then select your next patient and keep adding products. You can keep repeating this process for as many patients as you have. If you also have Stock only items in your order (such as multi packs of gloves or Couch Rolls) you can click on the Stock Only tab at the top of the order pad and add stock items to your order. When you have finished adding items to your order click ‘Proceed to Checkout.
