Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)
The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service that allows your GP surgery to send your prescriptions directly to your nominated pharmacy electronically. This means no more trips to your GP just to collect paper prescriptions — your medicines can be prepared and ready for you at your chosen pharmacy.
The process is fast, simple, and secure — making prescription management more convenient for both patients and pharmacies.
How Does EPS Work?
When your GP or another healthcare professional creates an NHS prescription, it’s sent electronically to the pharmacy you have nominated. Your pharmacy will receive the prescription instantly through their secure computer system — so you don’t need to handle paper prescriptions at all.
