Get Regular Prescriptions? Start Using the Electronic Prescription Service

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is the National Health Service (NHS) initiated service that allows you to send the prescriptions electronically from your GP practice to your favourite pharmacy.

Normally, you visit your GP for the collection of your repeat prescription so that you provide it to your pharmacy and wait in the store to get your medicines. With the electronic prescription service, your GP practice will send the prescriptions electronically to your pharmacy, saving you time. Plus, you do not need to wait for a longer period, your medicines are prepared before you arrive in the store.

The NHS Electronic Prescription Service is the right service for you if you have a stable condition and do not want to visit a GP practice frequently just to collect a paper prescription. However, you cannot use the service if you do not get regular prescriptions or order medicines from different pharmacies at all times.

It is essential that you search for a pharmacy that offers the Electronic Prescription Service; this you can do by choosing a high street pharmacy or an online pharmacy such as Pharmacy Outlet. You can nominate one of the GPhC registered pharmacies that offer the full electronic prescription service.

Usually, you do not have any limitations on nominating a pharmacy that is convenient for you. However, you have to nominate only one pharmacy at a time for using the electronic prescription service.

Call 03333 222 400 to understand how to nominate Pharmacy Outlet for using the Electronic Prescription Service.

Using the NHS electronic prescription service or the repeat prescription service of Pharmacy Outlet is easy:

• Provide the details of your GP practice to the pharmacist of Pharmacy Outlet
• He will work with your GP to get prescriptions online and then he will dispense your medicines
• Your prescription is delivered right to the address of your choice
• More importantly, the pharmacist will remind you about your next prescription due so that you do not run out of supply

The Electronic Prescription Service saves the environment, as the process is completely paperless.
