5 Steps to get a virtual GP in your pharmacy that can consult, write prescriptions and service patients on your premises – this is how to get a device-enabled doctor service in your pharmacy.
Want to increase your pharmacy’s revenue?
Imagine if you could have a doctor doing consultations, right in your pharmacy! Yes, just like some pharmacies have a clinic nurse for a few hours a day/week, but this time it’s a fully-fledged GP that can write scripts, do referrals give sick notes etc. all inside your pharmacy.
Well, thanks to new technology, that’s now a reality with Udok’s device-enabled doctor service in your pharmacy.
Here’s how it works and how to get it…
Udok provides pharmacies with a dedicated device, enabling patients to consult with a GP virtually right inside your store.
The service is super easy to implement and allows pharmacies to offer on-the-spot prescriptions, referrals, and lab work orders without the need for a doctor to be physically present.
With minimal setup – Udok provides you with the device needed – you can begin offering a comprehensive healthcare solution in your pharmacy.
We have rolled this type of service out in hundreds of Clicks stores, and it’s been incredibly successful for both the pharmacy customers and the pharmacy brand – especially since you can get your prescription right inside the pharmacy.
The good news is, we can do it in your pharmacy too.
It’s easy to get going…
The first step is to contact us by sending a message here, phoning +27 21 205 3737 or emailing us at admin@udok.co.za.
We’ll start by connecting you as a Udok provider, so you’re on the system and part of the network of pharmacies, to get the process in motion.
A Udok representative will get in touch to gather essential information, such as your pharmacy’s location, the number of customers you typically serve, and whether you have an internet connection. This allows Udok to tailor the service to your specific needs.
Once the setup is agreed upon, Udok provides you with a dedicated device for in-store use.
Along with the device, you’ll receive all the necessary training and technical support. This ensures your team can easily manage the doctor consultations and assist patients effectively.
After setup, you’ll be ready to market the new service. Udok can supply branding materials, including posters and digital assets, to help you promote virtual GP consultations to your customers.
Once everything is in place, you can start offering GP consultations. Your customers can now visit your pharmacy, consult with a doctor via Udok’s device, and collect their prescriptions right there, driving more traffic and boosting sales.
If you already offer clinic services with a nurse, Udok’s service works perfectly alongside it.
The nurse can continue seeing patients for regular services, but for cases requiring a doctor’s intervention, they can assist the patient in using the Udok device for a virtual consultation.
This keeps the patient in-store and streamlines their healthcare experience without sending them away for additional appointments.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your pharmacy’s services and boost your revenue.
