What is the EPS service?
The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is a service provided which allows you to 'nominate' your chosen pharmacy. To nominate a pharmacy you must do so at the pharmacy as we are unable to nominate for you here. Once nominated, your prescription will be sent directly to your pharmacy which means: you will no longer have to pick up repeats from the surgery, you cannot lose the prescription and items may be ready to collect up on your arrival. Almost all pharmacies are connected so finding your preferred one should be no problem.
This service does not change the way you order or request a prescription, and is not mandatory.
Do I have to pay for my care?
Some services offered at the surgery do incur a cost such as certain travel vaccinations and reports. Further details and pricing can be found on the 'fees' tab, under further information.
