Send Prescriptions Electronically To Pharmacy Outlet


Send Prescriptions Electronically

The National Health Service (NHS) has initiated the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) so that patients can send prescriptions electronically. Pharmacy Outlet, one of the UK’s registered online pharmacies, aims to help you and assist you to managing your prescription through EPS.

What is EPS?
EPS enables your doctor to send prescriptions electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. To start with the service, you must first nominate a pharmacy that offers EPS service. You can nominate Pharmacy Outlet to get started with the electronic prescription service so that you can order and manage your repeat prescriptions online.

What does EPS mean for me?
You can request your medicine in the same way as you do in person with your GP or at the pharmacy, but everything is done online. EPS will allow your prescribing GP to send prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy of your choice by using an IT system. With EPS, it is less likely that you lose or misplace your paper prescription. It takes at least two working days to generate your prescriptions electronically.

After nominating Pharmacy Outlet, your GP will be able to send prescriptions electronically to the dispenser you choose. After verifying the details, the pharmacist will send your medicine at the place you prefer, let it be home or office. Pharmacy Outlet can download the electronic prescription at any time after receiving it from your GP.

If your paper prescription is not at the pharmacy and you go to the pharmacy to collect your medicines, let your pharmacist know that you are using the electronic prescription service.

Sending a repeat or electronic prescription to your pharmacy has many benefits. It will save a lot of time for GPs, as they do not have time to issue numerous prescriptions.

Pharmacy professionals will be able to manage their work more efficiently because prescriptions will be send directly to the store electronically. This means they can plan their day more efficiently and have good control over stock.

Generally, the electronic prescription service is a safer option, as it is directly sent to your pharmacy by your GP.
