The Leicestershire Medicines Formulary website promotes safe, rational and cost-effective prescribing.

The Electronic Prescription Service is a new NHS service being introduced across England, which allows your GP to send your prescriptions electronically to your nominated pharmacy. This change means you will no longer receive a paper prescription*, however, the way your medication is dispensed and how you receive it remains the same.

How it works

1. Nominate the pharmacy you want to receive your electronic prescription

2. GP creates your prescription and transmits it to your nominated pharmacy

3. The pharmacy dispenses your medication in the usual way

How To Nominate a Pharmacy

Please enquire with your required Pharmacy and you will be given the relevant forms to fill in. To nominate a pharmacy, you will need to provide the following patient information:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Date of birth
  • Email
  • Contact number
  • NHS Number (only if you know it)
  • Doctors address
  • If you are the patient’s representative, you will need to provide your name, address, contact number and relationship to patient.   
Your Benefits Save Time
  • No need to collect repeat prescriptions from your GP
  • Your pharmacy can get your medication ready before you arrive
  • Convenient
  • Nominate a Pharmacy close to home, work or where you shop

Medication Reviews

The doctor may ask you to make an appointment to review your medication before a prescription is issued. Repeat prescriptions are not normally given for certain items, e.g. anti-depressants, sleeping tablets, the contraceptive pill, some asthma medication etc.
