Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)
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.

Repeat Dispensing
Introduced in 2006 was a Repeat Dispensing Scheme. This allowed patients having regular medication to have their prescriptions issued for 6 or 12 months (where appropriate). This is done in conjunction with Local Pharmacies and may mean you do not have to visit the surgery everytime you need a repeat prescription.
Medication Reviews
We have a duty to review your health and medicines regularly. We will let you know if you need to make an appointment for a medication review with either a Practice Pharmacist, Nurse, or your doctor.
If you need urgent advice about your medication outside our surgery hours, please call NHS 111.
