Call to action: Unlocking the benefits of online access to prescription medicines

The Online order and Home delivery of Medicines Coalition (OnHOME) is a group of patient organisations and other active stakeholders in the healthcare community determined to advocate for all Member States to allow their patients the choice to obtain their prescription medicines online and get them delivered at home by registered pharmacies. We therefore call on EU policymakers to improve the availability of medicines online by encouraging Member States to take the necessary steps to allow online access to prescription medicines, leveraging the current revision of the General Pharmaceutical Legislation.

The OnHOME Alliance has the single objective to enable patients throughout Europe to receive their prescription medicines online. 8 Member States have provided this benefit for many years now, leaving 19 that do not. The Alliance aims to remove such inequality so that all patients throughout the EU may have the convenience and efficiency of a safe and secure way of receiving the prescription medicines direct to their home or delivery address of their choice.

They support and encourage all pharmacies to provide this extra choice for patients. It is especially important for chronic and disabled patients to have this choice, as well as those living in rural areas and their carers.
