I'm on Lisinopril for blood pressure.
Yesterday I used the local pharmacy's app to ask for a repeat prescription.
Three hours later I got a text asking for my blood pressure results.
This morning I used my blood pressure monitor to take some readings and emailed to the address in the text.
An hour and a half later I got a message from the pharmacy saying they have my pills waiting for me.
It's nice when systems work smoothly.

It would, of course, be nicer if this was all in one NHS app, but all of the bits talking to each other is a good start.

Oh, and of course, none of this cost me a penny. The blood pressure monitor would have, if a friend hadn't given me one they had spare, but the GP surgery definitely lends out the ones it has to people who don't have their own.
