Send Prescriptions Electronically To Get Your Regular Meds

Send Prescriptions Electronically

It has become possible for a GP to send prescriptions electronically to your pharmacy due to advanced technologies and innovations. And this is possible due to the NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS).

The EPS allows a GP to send prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. There is no need for a patient to visit a GP just to collect a handwritten script if you are taking regular medicines and need a repeat prescription on a regular basis.

First, you must nominate a place where your GP can send prescriptions electronically. The place could be a pharmacy or a dispensing appliance contractor. The pharmacist will collect your prescription online on the behalf of you from your GP via the internet.

There are many GPs and pharmacies in the UK offering the NHS Electronic Prescription Service. Your prescriptions will be sent online to the chemist you choose if your GP offers the service. Your GP will inform you when to get started with this service.

The electronic prescription service means that there is no need for you to visit your GP just to collect a paper script when you need your regular medicine. You must check with your GP for clinical assessment, when and as required.
Nominate a pharmacy to use the Electronic Prescription Service. Generally, there are two ways to do so:
  1. Request your GP to nominate a pharmacy on the behalf of you
  2. Directly nominate a pharmacy by completing the necessary protocols
Your GP can send prescriptions electronically for the repeat prescription as well as the single prescription. For the repeat prescriptions, you will be able to continue ordering your repeat medicines from an online such as Pharmacy Outlet. What’s more, you get your medicines delivered right to your home.

The Electronic Prescription Service is safe, reliable and confidential. Only your GP and your pharmacist affiliated with Pharmacy Outlet can see your prescription to dispense your regular medicine.
