Electronic Prescribing Service

The surgery will start using the new EPS from 17 June 2025.

This means that prescriptions will now be sent directly to pharmacies also using EPS, so there is no need to collect a paper prescription form from the surgery.

Patients will need to go to a local pharmacy and ask to nominate that pharmacy as were the prescriptions will be sent. Repeat medication can still be requested in the normal way and can now also be requested using the new NHS Wales app (see separate news item for details).

The main difference is patients will no longer have the tick list on the right hand side of the prescription form, but can request a dispensing token, which should list all the medication prescribed when they collect medication from the nominated pharmacy.

We anticipate that it may take slightly longer to get requests processed and issued in the first few weeks after we start using EPS. Please bear with us during this initial period and plan ahead if you have regular repeat prescriptions.
