Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)
Nominate a pharmacy to start using the EPS
If you don't have a nominated pharmacy you can either nominate at the surgery or call into one of the local pharmacies to sign up for electronic prescribing.
This service is for your regular/repeat prescription. If you require additional/alternative medication, you would need to book an appointment with the GP.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
NHS charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
- Prescription (per item): £9.35
- a 3-month PPC costs £30.25
- a 12-month PPC is £108.10
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
