Very quick service

I ordered my prescription via the Hey Pharmacy app which is very easy to use. My prescription arrived within 3 days and I was kept informed all the way along of my orders progress. Excellent service.

We have used Hey for over two years…

We have used Hey for over two years now, and being in our 80's and unable to drive have found the process both easy and reliable. Such a relief from our previous position of relying on other friends and family.

Multiple repeat prescriptions packages

I asked if in future my repeat prescriptions were delivered in one parcel as it's inconvenient to be available to accept yet another royal mail delivery. It also is wasting NHS resources paying for extra packages and postage costs.
The response was, our system is automated so couldn't be implemented, finally after more emails Hey Pharmacy said they pass onto the "team". In the course of communicating the system information was unesarry repeated.
A no time was I thanked for the feedback.
The last email stated the "team" would not provide updates for the feedback I had provided.

Therefore, my next repeat prescriptions are going to be processed by a competitor.

Order number 2392681
Communication with Chantel

UPDATE
My new nominationed online pharmacy replyed as follows:

Good Morning Stephen, 

I have put a note on our system to wait for multiple prescriptions and send them out at the same time.

Kind Regards
SimplyMedsOnline.

A further competitor also replied with similar response.
,.................
I hope Hay pharmacy accepts customer feedback more readily in future, especially for existing or new customers, thanks for your time.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear of your frustration regarding your orders being dispatched separately.
Due to our high level of automation, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee that separate orders will be consolidated into a single shipment. I would like to reassure you that this does not result in any additional cost to the NHS; our pharmacy covers all extra shipping charges incurred by separate dispatches.
I also apologise if my previous messages felt repetitive. My goal was to be transparent about our processes, though I understand it was not the resolution you were hoping for.
Your feedback has been shared with our operations team to help us improve our service. While we do not provide individual responses to all feedback submissions, we truly value your input.
Kind regards
Chantal

Hey Pharmacist

I have been using Hey Pharmacist for all my prescription medicines for a while now. Excellent communication and regular monthly updates when a new batch is due.

Slow service

The service has become very slow, compared to what it was, so one needs to order well in advance. This is also needed as sometimes not all medicines are available and it is necessary to find alternative arrangements. The chatbot is not at all user-friendly and it is difficult to get the help or response needed.

Trying to use the app

I would like to say I was impressed by Hey Pharmacist, but I'm not. The Rowlands app was much better. When ordering, I was able to tap in the first few letters, and the medicine would come up. I needed to order something, but on this new app which is being forced on us, you can't. I tried asking for help from the pharmacist and the surgery, but they just shouted at me. I felt put down and made to feel stupid

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We are sorry to hear that you prefer the Rowlands app. Unlike other pharmacy apps, Hey Pharmacist is directly integrated with the NHS and your GP surgery. This secure connection is designed to streamline your care by ensuring that your GP remains in full control of which medications can be ordered and approved, providing a safer and more accurate service.
Regarding your experience of being shouted at, we sincerely apologise that you were treated this way. However, we must clarify that this occurred at your GP surgery, which is an independent organization. We have no control over their staff or internal conduct, though we are sorry that you had such a negative interaction while managing your health.
If there is anything further we can do to assist you, please contact our support team at help@heypharmacist.co.uk.
Best regards,
The Hey Pharmacist Team

Usually very efficient

Usually very efficient. Not quite so this time, took 10 days to deliver one item. Staff excellent though, always very helpful. I would certainly recommend Hey Pharmacy. Can excuse the odd hiccup.

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear of your recent experience and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, as all feedback is valuable to us.

We advise ordering 7-10 days before due, so that medication arrives in good time, and I can see the vast majority of your previous orders have been within this timeframe.

We can see your last order exceeded this, which will cause us to investigate the reason for the delay and feed this back to the dispensary.

If you need any help from the Hey Pharmacist support team, you can message us on the app or by emailing help@heypharmacist.co.uk.


Best wishes,
Hey Pharmacist
