Electronic Prescription Service
HFPG-Sandy Lane Surgery has introduced an Electronic Prescription Service.
This Service will mean that your GP will be able to send your prescription electronically to the pharmacy you choose to obtain your medication from, without the need for paper in most cases.
The Electronic Prescription Service is reliable, secure and confidential.
If you would like to use the Electronic Prescription Service:
• You will need to nominate a pharmacy to receive your prescriptions
electronically. You need to ask a member of pharmacy staff to arrange this.
• You can then continue to order your prescriptions in the usual way, but instead
of a paper prescription being collected by you or your pharmacy the
prescription will be sent to the pharmacy electronically.
• You should collect your prescriptions from your nominated pharmacy.
However, if you don’t wish to use your nominated pharmacy for a particular
prescription please ensure you inform the surgery when you request the
prescription.
• Nomination is very flexible and can be cancelled at any time by asking a member
of staff at your pharmacy.
If you would like further information regarding the Electronic Prescription Service please ask the staff at your pharmacy.
