Collecting your prescription & the Electronic Prescription Services (EPS)
Regardless of the method used to order your medication, your prescription will be sent via the Electronic Prescription Service to your nominated pharmacy. As soon as your doctor has electronically signed your prescription it automatically goes to your nominated pharmacy, However, please note you need to allow time for the pharmacy to prepare your prescription before going to collect it.
Requesting prescriptions early due to holiday
If you are requesting a prescription early due to holiday, please can you provide us with your date of departure, how long you are away for and whether you will be in the UK or abroad as this will enable us to process your prescription appropriately.
Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed at the Surgery and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account. Please note if you are requesting medication that does not appear on your prescription re-order form, your request may take longer to process.
