Medical Specialists® Pharmacy are delighted to announce they have now
gone mobile! The new mobile website has been created due to the
ever-changing requirements of their patients, with increasingly hectic
lifestyles now meaning a lot of us are using our mobile phones or
tablets to access the internet whilst on the go.
The streamlined mobile site will offer a much faster, efficient and
overall better browsing experience for all new and existing patients,
with optimal download speed and a site that has been designed
specifically for the differing screen shapes and sizes of mobile
devices.
Introducing the mobile version of the Medical Specialists® website
will be fantastic news to those always on the move throughout the day,
with little time to sit down at a computer, or even those that don’t own
a computer. The pharmacy receives countless phone calls from patients
each and every day looking to place a telephone order with them purely
because they are struggling to order from their tablet or phone, so the
Medical Specialists® IT department realised a mobile-friendly website
was absolutely vital to cater for the needs of the massive patient base
that come to them.
Those patients that are returning to Medical Specialists® will now be
able to log-in to their user area within seconds of accessing the
mobile site, with a more concise, rapid and mobile-friendly browsing
experience when searching for treatments of conditions like erectile dysfunction, male pattern baldness, alcohol dependence and much more.
After all, nobody wants to spend time on their mobile phone or tablet
attempting to frantically scroll through a condensed desktop website
that is simply too difficult to read and too time consuming when trying
to perform the most basic of tasks on it.
Most of us will have been there before…somebody sends us a link to a
website either by text message or email, and clicking on the link merely
brings up an unviewable, scrambled, chaotic mess. Annoyingly, the
screen size will probably have to be resized upon each click of that
website’s subpages – zooming in and out – with agonisingly slow loading
times from all the text and images the mobile device will have to load
from the desktop site.
Moreover, imagine as a business having a collection of your website
links all squashed together just because the page isn’t configured for a
mobile device, coupled with the fact we have to use our fingers which
aren’t as accurate as the click of a computer mouse…potential customers
may find themselves consistently pressing the wrong link and quickly
ending up very frustrated!
If the user can’t easily browse and read the content on a specific
website from their mobile device, they will leave frustrated,
uninspired, and that particular business has just lost out on a
potential sale and long-term customer.
Anyone already familiar with Medical Specialists® will perhaps not be
surprised at the introduction of the new mobile site. For over 20 years
they have been at the forefront of using the internet as an efficient
way of reaching out to patients, mainly with the changing demands of
today’s world. Back in 1994 Medical Specialists® was heavily involved in
computerisation of their patients and medication, and then by 2001
became the first legal online clinic in the UK supplying a range of
medication via online consultation, by their in-house Doctor.
Then from 2012, the pharmacy could dispense NHS prescriptions either
by patients sending their paper prescriptions or if the patient’s GP
sends the prescription to the pharmacy via the Electronic Prescription
Service. As previously reported on the Chamber of Commerce, in 2014
Medical Specialists® also started to offer certain over-the-counter
products on e-commerce giant Amazon, and has seen this side of the
business boom in the subsequent months. Therefore, the need for a mobile
site was imperative and may lead to even further growth for Medical
Specialists® in the very near future!
