Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) & Repeat Prescriptions

Electronic prescription service (EPS)

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service that allows your GP surgery to send prescriptions directly to your nominated pharmacy electronically — making prescription management faster and more convenient.
Whether it’s a one-off prescription or a repeat prescription, EPS eliminates the need to collect a paper prescription from your GP and take it to the pharmacy. Instead, your prescription is sent securely and instantly to your chosen pharmacy, saving you time and unnecessary trips.
Managing your NHS repeat prescriptions has never been easier. Once your GP issues the prescription or you request a repeat, it is sent electronically to Wilstead Pharmacy, where we’ll prepare it for you to collect or deliver (if eligible).
To start using EPS, speak to a member of our team to nominate Wilstead Pharmacy as your preferred pharmacy. We’ll take care of the rest.

NHS Repeat Prescription and Repeat Medication

Repeat medications are those you take regularly for a long-term or chronic condition, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or asthma. These medicines have already been approved by your GP, which means you can request NHS repeat prescriptions without needing a GP appointment each time.
Your GP will usually arrange a six-monthly or annual review to check your condition and ensure your medication is still appropriate. This review often involves a blood test or other routine monitoring.
If you have any questions about your repeat medication or need help managing it, our pharmacy team is here to help

How Does the NHS Repeat Prescription Service Work?

If you take medication that needs to be prescribed and dispensed regularly, our Repeat Prescription Service makes the process simple and hassle-free. Just follow these easy steps:
  • Nominate your preferred pharmacy: Nomination allows your NHS prescriptions to be sent directly to us from your GP surgery. Please let your GP know you'd like to nominate Wilstead Pharmacy for the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). You can also complete the form below and we can nominate you to Wilstead Pharmacy.
  • Order your medication: Request your NHS repeat prescription from your GP surgery when it’s due — either online, via an app such as NHS App, or by contacting the surgery directly.
  • We receive it electronically: Once approved by your GP, your prescription is sent electronically to us. Our pharmacy team will prepare your medication promptly and send you a text to let you know it’s ready for collection.
  • Collect your medication: Visit the pharmacy to collect your medicines. If eligible, you may also be able to arrange a free home delivery.
