The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is the NHS service
that gives you the chance to send prescription electronically through GP to the
pharmacy.
What does EPS mean for you? Usually, you need to visit your
GP to pick up your paper prescription and wait at your pharmacy to get your
medicines dispensed. Instead, your prescribing doctor will send prescription
electronically to Pharmacy Outlet, saving your time.
Is EPS right for you?
Yes, it is right for you if you suffer from a stable
condition and you do not want to visit your GP every time to collect your
prescription. It is also useful if you want your medications delivered at your
home. It may not be right for you if you do not get prescriptions very often.
How to use EPS?
First, you need to choose your chemist to receive the
electronic prescription service. And this you can do by nominating your local
or online pharmacy. Any UK registered pharmacy operating full electronic
prescription service can be nominated.
Patients do not have any restriction to nominating a chemist
near their practicing GP. However, a patient can only nominate one pharmacy at
a time. To nominate Pharmacy Outlet, all you need to do is click here or contact the customer support team on 03333 222 400.
Can you change the
nomination or cancel EPS?
Yes, you can change or cancel your nomination for electronic
prescription service. If you wish to discontinue your electronic prescription
or repeat prescription electronically, inform your GP. If you wish to change or
cancel your nomination, check with your GP and pharmacy that you have nominated
for EPS. Make sure you tell them prior to your next prescription due or your
prescriptions may go to the incorrect place.
Using NHS repeat prescription or electronic prescription at
Pharmacy Outlet is very easy:
- Tell the pharmacist who your GP is
- The pharmacist will work with your GP to check and dispense your prescription medicines
- Your prescription is delivered to your preferred UK address and the pharmacist will remind you about your next prescription due
Electronic Prescription Service helps save the environment –
it is a paperless work!
