SCRIPT PADS & SICK NOTES

As a member of GPMG, you are entitled to access the benefit of free script pads and sick notes printed and delivered to your practice.

To ensure your orders are properly received, accurately actioned and timeously delivered, it is essential that you note the following:

  • All orders must be placed on the order form and must be accompanied by a clear copy of your script pad and sick note. In the event that there are no changes, you can simply complete the form and use the same form to place your orders in the future (until there are changes of course).
  • Standard orders include:

o   30 script pad books of 100 pages each

o   12 sick note books of 100 pages each

  • Orders can take up to 3 weeks, to avoid being left without, please don’t wait until your orders run low before placing your next order.
  • The script pad and sick note benefit are reserved for our GPMG members. Should you wish to include the names of non-members within your practice on your order, they will be required to join.
  • If you indicate any changes to your order, we will ask that you sign off a proof to ensure you are happy with the changes before we proceed with printing.

To ensure response and action, please make sure all script pad and sick note orders
and queries are directed to
orders@gpmg.co.za.

It is crucial to GPMG that we utilise printers whom we trust to provide you with script pads and sick notes of good quality. This amended order process will assist us in maintaining proper records, streamlining the process, and avoiding mistakes and unnecessary back-and-forth communication to recoup missing details from your practice. It will also prevent orders from getting lost or delayed amongst the mass practice queries.
