EPS benefits for patients and carers
- The EPS will bring benefits for patients and their representatives - the extent of which will depend on individual circumstances.
- These include a more convenient service with a reduction in trips to the GP practice just to collect, or request a paper prescription - particularly for patients receiving repeat medication.
- The EPS also gives patients greater freedom of choice, making it simpler for them to use a dispensing contractor convenient to them.
- Potentially, it will also reduce pharmacy waiting times as dispensers will have the opportunity to prepare prescriptions in advance of the patient's arrival.
