Electronic Prescription Service

 

What is the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)?

The Electronic Prescription Service, or EPS, enables prescriptions to be sent electronically from the GP practice to a pharmacy or dispenser of your choice.

With EPS, you no longer need to collect paper prescriptions from the practice as a prescription can be sent securely to your nominated pharmacy where you usually collect your medicines or medical appliances.

 

How do I start using EPS?

Firstly, you will need to choose the pharmacy or dispenser that will dispense your prescribed medicines.

Your pharmacy of choice will be referred to as your nominated pharmacy and this nomination can be added to your record by a member of our Patient Services Team.

You can change or cancel your nominated pharmacy or dispenser at any time. Simply speak to the practice or pharmacist before you order your next prescription.

Your nomination will only be added or changed at your request.

 

 

Medication Reviews

 

What is a Medication Review?

A medication review is a private, confidential meeting between you and a member of our Pharmacist team or another suitably qualified health professional to discuss your medicines. The discussion may take place over the phone or in person. The aim of the medication review is to check that you are prescribed the most appropriate medicines and that you get the best out of those medicines.

What will happen?

Tests may be made to determine whether the medicine is working (e.g. blood pressure checks). Monitoring may be necessary for the type of medication that you are on.

You will be asked how you are getting on with your medicines; so inform the health professional of any problems you may be experiencing with your medicines.

You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your medicines. If any changes need to be made to your medication, your agreement will be sought before changes are made.

A record of the review will be documented in your medical notes.

What happens if i don't book a medication review?

If you do not book a medication review when requested this will result in restrictions to ongoing prescription requests until such time that a medication review has been completed. This is to ensure that we are prescribing safely on an ongoing basis.
