💊PAPER PRESCRIPTIONS💊

A few patients are still requesting paper prescriptions although they should have been phased out several years ago. We are stopping paper prescriptions altogether now to improve safety and efficiency.

Each GP gets 30-150 repeat prescriptions to sign per day and, when signing electronic prescriptions, the notes can be checked before signing to make sure everything is up to date and safe to prescribe. Paper prescriptions take more time to process.

At the pharmacy, paper prescriptions need to be entered manually onto their system which can introduce errors and take more time.

GP surgeries and pharmacies are under pressure, and we need to do anything we can to help safety and efficiency.
