eScripts now available

North Brighton Medical is now able to send patients electronic presciptions (also known as eScripts) under a new initiative of the Australian government in conjunction with the states and territories.

If you need a presciption, then during your consultation (especially if you have a phone consult), your GP will be able to SMS or email you a link to a QR or barcode token.

Then, you simply take your smartphone to a local pharmacy (provided that they have eScripts enabled, which most do), and they will scan the token and then fill your prescription.

Easy!
