We will be introducing a new way of generating your prescriptions called “Electronic Prescription Service” (EPS) which will mean that your prescriptions will go directly to a chemist of your choice. With EPS this means that you no longer have to come to the surgery to pick up your repeat prescriptions, you can go straight to your nominated chemist.You still need to allow 48 working hours
from the time of your request.Unfortunately certain medications cannot be
done through EPS due to safety reasons. These medications include:
Controlled drugs like (Tramadol, Morphine, Oramorph, Fentanyl, etc)
Private prescriptions
