Electronic prescriptions
Electronic Prescribing Service (EPS) enables the prescriber – such as GP and Practice Nurse – to send prescriptions electronically to a pharmacy of the patients choice. This makes the prescribing process more efficient, quicker and convenient for patients and staff. It also avoids the need to call in to the surgery to collect your prescription and enables you to go direct to the pharmacy to collect your medication. In order to take full benefit of this service, you will need to advise us of your nominated pharmacy and provide your consent with your next prescription request.
The repeat prescriptions are monitored for safety and quality purposes.
