HAPS Newsletter Mar 2021

 

Welcome to your March newsletter.

We would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter.

 

Meet the team

Last month we had a new addition to the team. We would like to welcome Louise Turner, our new Assistant Practitioner. Louise joins us with over 20 years of working for the NHS. She began her career working at a GP surgery and health centre where she trained as a community Phlebotomist. She then moved onto working for The Park Hospital in Nottingham as a healthcare assistant, and also worked in the Gynaecology department until she joined the Prescription Services Team in Nottingham. Louise has a keen interest in Stoma care due to personal experience caring for and supporting a family member. Louise is dedicated to helping her patients and going the extra mile to help improve their lives. Louise will be supporting the prescription coordinators on the phones during busy times.

 

Connect Prescription Services Website

Connect Prescription Services are excited to announce the launch of our new website. This can be accessed via the following link: –

https://connectprescriptions.com/

We will be posting live information on the service phone-lines on the website. There’s information on how to order your prescriptions, frequently asked questions and some useful contacts.

 

Dispenser Survey

At Connect Prescription Services we are driven to offer the best service possible and to enable us to do this we need to understand the world in which we operate. We have had feedback from individuals telling us that some dispensers are not behaving ethically so we would like your input to help us to identify this practice so that it can be addressed. This link will take you to a survey of 9 questions which should take less than 10 minutes to complete https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/NAMSDACS

 

Opening hours

In January 2021 the opening hours for the service changed: We are open 08:00 – 20:00 Monday & Wednesday, 08:00-17:00 Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 09:00 – 13:00 on Saturdays. The phone lines are closed the first and third Wednesday of each month between 10:00 – 12:00 for staff training.

 

*On the 21st April 2021 the training hours will be slightly different as the lines will be closed between 09:00 – 11:00.*
