Question 1

What is EPS (Electronic Prescription Service)?

Accepted Answer

EPS (Electronic Prescription Service) allows patients to nominate a pharmacy where their prescriptions will be sent electronically. When a patient nominates a pharmacy, all their prescriptions from any GP practice are automatically sent to that pharmacy. This eliminates the need for paper prescriptions and makes the process more convenient for patients.

Question 2

What are EPS nominations?

EPS nominations are when patients choose a specific pharmacy to receive their electronic prescriptions. When a patient nominates a pharmacy, all their prescriptions from any GP practice are automatically sent to that nominated pharmacy. The number of nominations a pharmacy has indicates patient loyalty and preference.

Question 4

How often is the EPS nominations data updated?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

What does "Biggest Winners" mean in the EPS leaderboard?

Accepted Answer
