Electronic Prescription Service
Background
The Electronic Prescription Service will enable prescribers - such as GPs and practice nurses - to send prescriptions electronically to a dispenser (such as a pharmacy) of the patient's choice. This will make the prescribing and dispensing process safer and more convenient for patients and staff.
This web page will be used to provide local updates and guidance to staff in the use of Electronic Prescription Services.
