NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)

In order to provide more efficient services with greater flexibility and choice for patients, a national programme has been changing the way practices send out prescriptions. This programme helps all practices and pharmacies to reduce any administration errors.

With the Electronic Prescription Service, we send your prescription electronically to the place you choose, saving you time. It is sent automatically from Practice to Pharmacy - and can be tracked by both the Practice and the Pharmacy.

This is not the same as your pharmacy 'managing your repeat prescription'.

To take advantage of the Electronic Prescription Service, please register with your chosen pharmacy.

To smooth the process of requesting prescriptions, you may like to register with the Practice for online access so that you can request your prescription online. (Please see Patient Access Online Services for more information).

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): £8.05
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £104.00
• 3-month PPC: £29.10

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

• Telephone advice and order line 0845 850 0030
• General Public - Buy or Renew a PPC On-line
