If you or someone you care for uses the same medicines regularly, you may be able to benefit from using the NHS Electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD) service.
The Electronic prescription service (EPS) allows prescribers to send prescriptions electronically to a dispenser (such as a community pharmacy) of the patient’s choice.
This makes the prescribing and dispensing process more efficient and convenient for patients and staff; reducing the need for patients to attend practices in person to order or collect repeat prescriptions.
It is recommended that patients nominate a regular pharmacy so that prescriptions can automatically be sent there.
Electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD)
Electronic repeat dispensing (eRD) is a process that allows the prescriber to authorise and issue a batch of repeat prescriptions for up to 12 months with just one digital signature.
