Nominating a pharmacy for your NHS prescription makes getting your medication easier and more convenient. Instead of collecting a paper prescription from your GP and taking it to a pharmacy, your prescription is sent electronically to your chosen pharmacy. This service, known as the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS), saves time and ensures a smoother process.
What Does It Mean to Nominate a Pharmacy?
When you nominate a pharmacy, your GP will send your prescriptions directly to that pharmacy every time you need medication. This means:
- No need to visit your GP to pick up a paper prescription
- Faster processing and collection of medicines
- Option for home delivery from pharmacies offering this service
- A more seamless and efficient prescription experience
How to Nominate a Pharmacy for Your NHS Prescription
Nominating a pharmacy is simple and can be done in a few steps:
- Choose a Pharmacy – Select a local or online pharmacy that best suits your needs. If you prefer home delivery, ensure the pharmacy offers this service.
- Inform Your GP or Pharmacy – You can nominate a pharmacy by speaking to your GP surgery, asking your pharmacist, or doing it online through NHS services.
- Confirm Your Nomination – Your pharmacy will update their system, and your future prescriptions will be automatically sent to them.
- Start Receiving Your Medications – Once your GP issues a prescription, your nominated pharmacy will process it, allowing you to collect your medication or receive it via delivery.
