All practices are now upgrading to the next phase of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). This means that almost all our prescriptions will be processed electronically from May 2020.
Electronic prescriptions help save the NHS money. By nominating a pharmacy, you can now miss out the visit to the practice to collect your paper prescription. The prescription will go straight to the pharmacy. Please still give 2 working days after ordering before collecting.
Do not worry if your usual pharmacy cannot issue your medication (e.g. if they do not have a supply). They can give you a token to take to another pharmacy.
