PC-linked label system saves GPs time

The DYMO LabelWriter is saving GPs’ time, according to the system's manufacturer, Uxbridge-based Esselte.

The system, which sits on the desk of GPs, practice nurses and administrators, is PC-linked and compatible with EMIS GP practice software. Users can simply highlight the patient information they need within EMIS, drag it into the DYMO label box and print out however many copies are required. The LabelWriter takes a roll of single white adhesive labels in 17 different sizes and formats.

The system is being used at Newmarket Medical Practice where it is said to be saving GPs up to an hour a session.

Angela Griffiths, practice manager says: “We saw the DYMO LabelWriter advertised on the television and bought one machine to try out. It has proved so successful that all five GPs in the practice now have their own individual label printer. In the past they wrote all this information out by hand when completing forms, letters and sending samples to the hospital.
