Medication reviews

If you have a repeat prescription, one of our clinicians will complete an annual medication review. In that case the receptionists will ask you to make an appointment. Please book a routine appointment for your review.

NHS Electronic Prescription Service

We send prescriptions electronically to your nominated pharmacy.

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service. It gives you the chance to change how your GP sends your prescription to the place you choose to get your medicines or appliances from.

What does this mean for you?

• If you collect your repeat prescriptions from the practice you will not have to visit the practice to pick up your paper prescription. Instead, we will send it electronically to the place you choose, saving you time.
• You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop.
• You may not have to wait as long at the pharmacy as there will be time for your repeat prescriptions to be ready before you arrive.

Please ask your pharmacist for further details.
