Trained clerks who process requests at an earlier stage
Repeat prescription requests and medication queries arrive in large volumes, and when they land straight on a pharmacist or GP they slow the whole prescribing workflow down. NovaMed prescription clerk support puts trained prescription clerks at the front of that process.
They handle repeat prescription requests and medication queries efficiently at an earlier stage, resolving routine work before it ever reaches a clinician — keeping repeat prescribing accurate and moving.
The effect is a faster, calmer medicines workflow for your practice. Patients get their repeats processed promptly, and the queue of routine requests that used to sit with your clinical team shrinks.
- Repeat prescription requests processed efficiently and accurately.
- Medication queries handled at an earlier stage in your workflow.
- Routine work resolved before it reaches a pharmacist or GP.
More time for pharmacists and GPs, with clear communication
By dealing with the routine early, prescription clerks free your pharmacists and GPs to focus on structured medication reviews, prescribing decisions and patient care that genuinely need their expertise. Clear communication with the practice is central to how the service works — our clerks follow your processes, stay in close contact with your team and escalate anything that needs a clinical decision, so nothing falls through the gaps.
- Frees pharmacists and GPs for higher-value clinical work.
- Clear, ongoing communication with the practice at every step.
- Prompt escalation of anything needing a clinical decision, under GP-led governance.
