We are upgrading to the next phase of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) which will mean that almost all our prescriptions will be processed electronically. We would encourage all of our patients to have a nominated Pharmacy added to your medical records. This will ensure that the prescription is sent electronically to the correct Pharmacy for your to collect of your medication. If you do not have a nominated Pharmacy, you will be given a token instead of a prescription. The token can be taken to any Pharmacy, who will then scan this and be able to issue you with the correct medication.
Electronic prescriptions help save the NHS money.
