Community pharmacy in 2026 is defined by its ability to provide high-quality, accessible care. While Patient Group Directions (PGDs) provide a vital, structured foundation for many core services, the next stage of pharmacy evolution involves stepping into full clinical autonomy.

Today, we are proud to announce the launch of Deltera Prescribe.

Designed as a powerful add-on to the Deltera Platform, Prescribe is built for the Independent Prescriber (IP) who wants the freedom to build their own clinical offerings and the safety of a robust digital workflow.

The Freedom to Build Your Own Services

PGDs are the bedrock of modern pharmacy services, allowing teams to deliver standardised care at scale. However, there are many clinical areas where a PGD simply doesn't exist.

Deltera Prescribe provides the framework to launch those niche or specialised services you’ve always wanted to offer. Whether it’s acute ailment management, specialised travel medicine, or long-term health clinics, you now have the clinical freedom to prescribe according to your own expertise, without being limited to pre-defined protocols.

It’s about expanding your pharmacy’s reach and providing safe, professional care for any clinical scenario that falls within your competency.

Dedicated Workflows for Modern Clinics

Prescribe isn't just a "backup" option—it is a dedicated service line. The platform is designed to handle the specific journey of a prescribing appointment from start to finish:

• Dedicated Prescribe Bookings: Use your Deltera booking links to offer specific "IP Consultation" slots. Patients can book directly into your diary, knowing they are seeing a prescriber for a comprehensive assessment.

• Seamless Walk-in Appointments: Pharmacy is the home of the walk-in. Prescribe allows you to start a consultation on the spot, capturing all necessary clinical data quickly and professionally.

• Full Clinical Autonomy: From the initial assessment to the final signature, you have complete control over the clinical journey, backed by a system that prioritises patient safety and regulatory compliance.

Features Built for Safety and Professionalism

We’ve taken the same intuitive design of our PGD platform and optimised it for the unique requirements of Independent Prescribing:

• Professional Consultation Interface: A clean, modern workspace that guides you through a clinical assessment while keeping the focus on the patient.

• Digital Private Prescriptions: Issue secure, legal digital prescriptions immediately upon completing your assessment.

• Smart Pre-screening: Capture vital patient information before the appointment begins, allowing you to review complex cases ahead of time.

• Head Office Auditing & Oversight: Maintain total visibility across your estate. Head office teams can track every prescription issued, review full consultation records, and add internal comments for clinical governance.

• Competency Management: Pharmacists can upload and store their clinical competencies directly within the platform, making it easy to manage professional standards and stay audit-ready at all times.

The Next Chapter of Your Clinical Business

The launch of Deltera Prescribe represents a new era of opportunity for pharmacists. It allows you to leverage your hard-earned IP qualification to its full potential, creating a clinical hub that is limited only by your expertise.

By combining the structured reliability of our PGD platform with the flexible power of Prescribe, you can offer a truly comprehensive healthcare service to your local community.
