As many of you now know we will be going live with Electronic Prescriptions at the end of the month. There are significant benefits for the surgery, pharmacies and patients.
Whilst we appreciate this is a change for patients not receiving a green piece of paper. This EPS system has been used in England for over 20 years without any problems.
It’s secure, fully auditable, saves trees and most importantly prevents lost prescriptions which the surgery and pharmacy have spent many hours previously looking for them, then reprint them, then spending time to obtain another wet GP signature. These inefficiencies are huge for us and now we have a national electronic system to overcome them!
Please nominate a pharmacy so we can move into the modern age and make improvements to our services and ultimately patient care 🙏. You can do this by asking the pharmacy.
Thank you for helping us!

📢 Important Patient Notice – Reduced GP Availability 📢

Due to GP sickness, we are currently running with reduced appointment availability at the practice. For today, we will only be able to see patients with acute or urgent medical problems.

We kindly ask for your understanding during this period and to only contact the surgery if your issue is urgent. For non-urgent matters, please consider using:
✅ NHS 111 online or by phone
✅ Local pharmacies for advice on minor illnesses
✅ Our online services where appropriate

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience while we work hard to support all our patients.

🙏 Your support helps us care for those who need us most right now.

Ahead of our ‘go-live’ with electronic prescribing, all patients need to nominate their preferred pharmacy. When you’re next in your pharmacy ask them to nominate you. When we go live at the end of the month, your future prescriptions will seamlessly go to the pharmacy and also be fully trackable.

It’s a responsibility of patients to go and nominate themselves at a local community pharmacy as soon as possible to ensure once we go-live that your prescription is sent there automatically.
