Prescriptions in England are going paperless.

 

So instead of your GP giving you a prescription on paper, they will electronically send it straight to a pharmacy of your choice as part of the NHS Electronic Prescription Service.

 

This service is gradually being rolled out across GP surgeries and pharmacies in England. You can choose to have your prescriptions sent to any pharmacy offering the service.

 

You can then either let your doctor or pharmacist know which pharmacy you have chosen.
