Appliance Dispensing - Chequerfield Pharmacy, Pontefract

What is appliance dispensing?

 

Appliance dispensing is similar to prescription dispensing; it allows a local pharmacy to dispense a select number of products and items to a patient that are required for the management of their condition. This can be done through a dispensing appliance contractor (DAC) who will be partnered with the pharmacy to perform the service or the pharmacy itself will take on the role of the dispense contractor and provide the service directly to the patient.

 

Why is appliance dispensing important?

 

Appliance dispensing allows for pharmacies to supply patients with an appliance without having to make regular visits to their GP surgery. Prescriptions are prepared in advance and items are supplied in a timely manner.

 

What is included under the appliance dispensing service?

 

The list of appliances available as part of the dispensing service is vast. Some appliances available include:

  • Stoma pouches
  • Catheter bag and appliances
  • Compression bandages and hosiery
  • Laryngectomy and tracheostomy tubes/appliances

Simply cannot express my gratitude for this place and the staff that work here. It’s such a friendly place, the staff are always eager to help and go above and beyond for you. It’s always nice to be greeted with a friendly smile but in these testing times it seems so much more important. Iv collected my mother’s prescriptions from here for a while now after moving from another pharmacy and they’re always ready promptly without any trouble, it’s always nice to have a chat and feel like a valued customer, great work team. And thank you for all your hard work it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed in the community.
