ELECTRONIC PRESCRIPTION SERVICE

A NEW WAY TO GET YOUR MEDICATION

The Practice is now offering a new service.  Electronic Prescriptions.  If you would like to use this service you can nominate a preferred Pharmacy (where you want your prescriptions to go to).  Your prescription will then be sent authomatically to your nominated pharmacy electronically without the paper prescription.  You will then be able to collect your medication from your pharmacy without having to come into the surgery to collect your prescription.

If you do not wish to use this service you can continue to collect your prescriptions in person from the surgery.  For many patients this service will make collection of medication a lot easier as you will not need to visit the surgery.

For more information please speak to your Pharmacist of choice or visit the following web site for more information or ask the Receptionist for an information leaflet:
