What Pharmaself24 can do for you
Save time
The automated prescription kiosk frees up staff’s time and reduces patient’s waiting time. Your staff has more time to invest in more high value activities for the pharmacy. They can concentrat on patient’s counselling rather than handing out prescriptions.
Increase customer satisfaction
The pharmacy prescription vending machine guarantees patients comfort and flexibility, increasing their satisfaction. It allows patients to collect prescriptions whenever they want, and reduces queues and waiting times making their experience more comfortable and pleasant. Pharmaself24 responds to the needs of the patients with limited time to collect drugs.
Increase pharmacy’s market share
Prescription dispensing solutions can grow and secure pharmacy’s business, increasing patient’s loyalty and attracting new ones. Pharmaself24 attracts new patients because a 24/7 service is needed by today’s customers. The pharmacy can dispense more prescriptions at anyt time of the day or night with no need to expand its opening time.

The industry agrees! In 2022 the EAHP Special Interest Group on Automated Medication Management laid the foundation for membership review of a European Autonomous Pharmacy Framework vision that sets out a pathway to replace manual, error-prone activities with processes that are safer and more efficient. Ultimately the aim is to turn the tide back in the favour of clinicians, helping hospital pharmacy and nursing staff to operate at the top of their license.
