The Pharmaclick project, led by Jonathan Gay at Sheffield City Council, offers remote advice and dispensing for areas lacking pharmacy coverage. Perfect for campuses, it provides out-of-hours services and multi-lingual support. With a future-proof platform and strong identity verification, Pharmclick aims to expand to ePrescriptions and possibly link to NHS Direct. The project explores sports medicine and interactive advice services, generating interest from supermarkets and beyond.
