Patients can order repeats in ETP pilot

Patients involved with the Pharmacy2U electronic prescription transmission pilot can now order repeat prescriptions online and check their entire electronic prescription history.

After logging on to a secure web server using a username and password, patients from the nine GP surgeries involved in the pilot can ask for repeat prescriptions, check the status of any prescription requests they have made before, see their complete electronic prescription history and alter their personal and contact details.

Pharmacy2U receives electronic prescriptions from 27 GPs at the nine surgeries and delivers dispensed medicines to patients within a couple of days.

Pharmacy2U says that prescription management is an added-value service for its users and is not part of the formal ETP pilot.
