A PRESCRIPTION ATM will be installed in a West End pharmacy.

Partick Pharmacy at 160 Dumbarton Road asked the city council for permission to install the device. 

It wanted to make alternations to its shop front to install. 

The plan has been approved subject to conditions. 

Prescription collection machines are described as the ATMs of pharmacy.

Instead of queueing in the bank to withdraw money, ATMs allowed the secure withdrawal of cash 24/7. Prescription collection machines do the same for prescriptions.
