Twelve GP practices in Enfield have gone live with a new electronic prescription service.
The new service by the NHS was set up to save time by digitally sending prescriptions direct to pharmacies, without no need for a traditional paper slip.
One of the new options is the NHS Repeat Prescription Service from Pharmacy2U, which allows people to order by phone, online or using a mobile app, and then have their medication delivered for free to their home or workplace.
Pharmacist Dr Julian Harrison, director at Pharmacy2U, said: “The move to e-prescriptions makes the process quicker and easier and is giving patients a lot more choice – such as a pharmacy closer to where they work or an online and mail-order service like ours.
“Our NHS repeat prescription service can be a useful option for those who don't find a traditional high street pharmacy a convenient choice. It’s popular with people who work long hours.”
