A community pharmacy during a busy dispensing period has a familiar problem: every member of staff is dispensing, counselling patients or managing the counter queue, and the phone rings unanswered. Patients calling about prescription queries, medication availability, service bookings or opening hours get no answer and call elsewhere or visit in person unnecessarily.
Independent pharmacies face significant pressure from online pharmacy services and large chains with call centre infrastructure. Every patient interaction that falls through the cracks of a busy counter operation is a relationship that could migrate to a competitor. The patient who cannot get a simple query answered by phone does not necessarily distinguish between the quality of your pharmaceutical care and the quality of your phone handling.
The Bizwings AI Receptionist handles every call your counter team cannot take - prescription query routing, service booking enquiries (flu jab, travel health, NMS), opening hours and general information - captures patient details for follow-up where needed, and reduces the burden on your dispensing staff during peak periods.
