EPS is a system that has been devised to make it easier for Patients to pick up their repeat prescription. It is called Electronic Prescription Service or EPS for short. EPS is an NHS service that sends your prescriptions from the Surgery to a Pharmacy without the need for a paper copy. Patients need to nominate a Pharmacy of their choice and this Pharmacy will receive your prescription direct from your GP Surgery via the EPS.
With EPS patients will not need to visit their GP Surgery to collect their prescription anymore. Patients will have more choice about where to get their medicines from because you can choose a Pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop. EPS is reliable, secure and confidential as the electronic prescription can only be seen by the same people in the GP Surgery and Pharmacies who see your paper prescription now.
You can fill in an EPS nomination form from any chemist or ask at the surgery and we can set up your nomination for you.
