Woodstock Surgery is moving suitable patients to Electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD).
You don’t need to do anything, your GP will set up eRD for you.
eRD will help you protect yourself and continue to receive your regular medication. It means we can send your regular or repeat prescriptions electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. You can then collect your medication from your pharmacy or ask them to deliver it to your home. It’s easy to set up and you don’t need a computer or electronic device.
Benefits of eRD
eRD allows your GP to prescribe your regular medicines for up to a year. It’s reliable, secure and confidential. Your regular prescriptions are stored securely on the NHS database, so they’ll be ready at the pharmacy each time you need them.
Using eRD, you can:
- Save time by avoiding unnecessary trips or calls to your GP every time you need to order a repeat prescription
- Pick up your repeat prescriptions directly from your pharmacy without having to visit your GP
- Save paper – you won’t need a paper prescription to collect your medicine from the pharmacy
