pharmacists assessing safety

 

Testing of the EPS functionality in the first GP and pharmacy systems started in autumn 2023.

Assurance of the systems will then be followed by a phased roll out across all GP practices and pharmacies, as suppliers become EPS-ready.

  • Please use the updated WP34C form which has separate totals for electronic and paper prescriptions.
