Richard Kay of Pharma Storage Solutions https://pharmacystoragesolutions.co.uk/ has developed a brilliant new idea aimed specifically at Dispensing Doctor practices – a new window to patient access point called the Patient Pickup Point .
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and here is a mockup for an installation which is happening this month in a dispensing practice [exterior view]
One thing we have learnt from the pandemic is the need to reduce the number of patients entering the building, whilst maintaining a fast and safe dispensing process. The new Patient Pickup Point satisfies both of those needs.
The patient can use the built-in intercom system to speak to the dispenser and the medicine is safely passed to the patient via the metal sliding drawer. This means the patient doesn’t need to enter the building to pick up their medication.
The dispenser can speak to and see the patient through the window and pass them their medication through the metal drawer – see picture below:
