FAQs

When is GORD treatment suitable under a PGD?

For patients with persistent reflux who have tried OTC options. Deltera’s pre-screen checks for "ALARM" symptoms like unexplained weight loss or difficulty swallowing.

How long can I supply PPIs for?

Usually for a short-term course (e.g., 4 weeks). Deltera’s history tracking prevents inappropriate long-term use without a formal GP review.

Can patients book this for "holiday cover"?

Yes. It’s a popular service for those travelling. Patients can pre-screen on their mobile and collect their medication after a brief pharmacist check.

Is this integrated with Pharmacy First?

While GORD is often private, Deltera ensures the consultation is recorded to the same high standard, with automated notifications sent to the patient’s GP.
