EPS in Wales

Wales has taken a significant step forward in healthcare modernisation with the introduction of EPS. For the first time, Welsh GPs will no longer need to physically print and sign green paper prescriptions. Instead, prescriptions will be signed electronically and sent directly to the patient’s nominated pharmacy electronically. This makes the prescribing and dispensing of medications easier, safer and more efficient for healthcare providers and patients alike. To help your pharmacy prepare, this document provides essential guidance in line with nationally agreed standards and customer policies for implementing EPS within your ProScript Connect® system. From best practice to helpful resources and key NHS requirements, we’re here to support your team every step of the way. Supporting your pharmacy with the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)
