So, you’ve finished your registration with Phlo – Excellent news! What can you expect now?
Once your registration is complete, your information is then sent to our Pharmacy team to verify your details and enrol you on our Pharmacy systems. This is generally a quick process, after which you can start using Phlo to request your prescriptions and order your medication!
After our pharmacy team has finalised your enrolment, you’ll receive an e-mail from us letting you know that you have been successfully enrolled and that you now have full access to the Phlo app.
While you’re waiting, if you have been prompted to upload a photo of your ID or if you have a valid medical exemption certificate; we strongly recommend you do upload this as soon as possible so we can ensure you have full access to the app and receive the best level of patient care possible. Simply take a photo and upload it to your account where prompted.
If you have a repeat prescription, getting your medication with Phlo is an easy 2-step process:
Step 1: Request your prescription from your GP – via the Phlo app
Step 2: Schedule delivery of your medication
If you require a repeat prescription, the first step is to request your medication from the GP. All you need to do is enter the Phlo app and simply send your request to your GP, who will then authorise the prescription to be dispensed by our pharmacy team.
We always recommend you request your repeat prescription in advance (we recommend 7 days) before you are due to run out of your medication. During busy periods, it may take your GP up to 72 hours to authorise your prescription request.
Once your GP has authorised your prescription, you will receive an e-mail from Phlo informing you that you medication is ready to be ordered. You can either click on the link in the email or sign directly into Phlo app to order your prescription and schedule delivery. You must complete this process before we can deliver your medication.
If you require an acute (one off) prescription, you do not need to request your medication from your GP, your prescription will be automatically loaded into your Phlo account. All you need to do in this case is sign into the Phlo app and schedule your delivery.
Depending on your location, you’ll find that Phlo offers several delivery options. We offer multiple delivery options for the convenience of our patients. We want you to be able to select the delivery option that suits you best.
If you live in our real-time delivery areas, the most convenient option is our same-day delivery service. This option allows you to pick a 4-hour timeslot for delivery on a day which suits you.
Outside of our real-time delivery areas, you will still have a selection of great delivery options available:
• Tracked Next-Day Delivery – this gets your medication delivered within 24 hours
• Tracked 48-Hour Delivery
One of the features that our patients appreciate the most is the ability to track the progress of their orders in the Phlo app. This ensures that you can track in real-time when your GP authorises your prescription, when our pharmacy team dispenses it, and when you can schedule your delivery. You’ll be notified by email and SMS on the progression of your order throughout.
We also offer tracked delivery options which allows you to track your medication once it has left our Pharmacy.
Our same-day delivery service will also allow you to track your medication on the live map in real-time, as it travels to your doorstep.
We’ve designed this to ensure that our patients are informed of the status of their prescription every step of the way for extra peace of mind.
