Happy shutling!

We’re pleased to announce that DrEd, the online medical practice, has launched a new service shutling emergency contraception to Londoners within 2 hours of patients completing an online consultation.

The total cost of the service is £19.99, around £5 cheaper than walking into a pharmacy and buying the pill over the counter!

There are two good clinical reasons for Shutling the “morning after” pill:

1. It is more effective the sooner it is taken, so shortening the delivery time can improve it’s chance of success.
2. Patients can be put off by having to answer face-to-face questions about why they need emergency contraception, reducing their propensity to see a doctor.

How does it work?
DrEd gathers all of the necessary information from the patient via an online questionnaire that is then reviewed by one of their doctors, who will prescribe the pill or not as appropriate. This prescription is then collected by a Shutl courier from a local Day Lewis Pharmacy and delivered discretely in plain packaging to the patient’s chosen address (home or office). The service is only available to women aged 18 and over.

We are excited that DrEd has chosen to develop a fantastic patient proposition using Shutl’s world-leading platform and we look forward to working with them to develop a significant business.
