NRAS announces new partnership with online repeat prescription service

The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) has just announced a new year long partnership with Pharmacy2U, the UK’s biggest online and mail order pharmacy service.

This new partnership, supporting the work of the NRAS, is helping to raise awareness of the society and the support services offered for anyone living with rheumatoid arthritis.

Pharmacy2U offers a free NHS repeat prescription service that allows patients to order medication by phone or online. It cuts out unnecessary trips to the GP or chemist and medication can be delivered direct to your home, workplace or another address you may wish to choose.

You can speak to a pharmacist on the phone for advice and they can also send you reminders by phone or email when our prescription is due, to help you manage your medication regime.

Oliver Hoare, fundraising manager of NRAS, says, “I am extremely grateful to Pharmacy2U for their support. This partnership provides a fantastic opportunity for greater awareness of our excellent support sources. My thanks to all at Pharmacy2U.”

Dr Julian Harrison, director of Pharmacy2U, says, “Pharmacy2U is proud to partner with the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society and support the vital work it does to help those affected with rheumatoid arthritis in the UK.

“Many individuals with the condition and other forms of arthritis use our NHS repeat prescription service and this partnership will allow us to work together to better understand their needs and help the charity raise awareness.”
