Non-urgent advice: Repeat Dispensing Service (eRD)
GPs and pharmacies are moving suitable patients to electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD). This is for patients who get regular or repeat medicines that don’t change.
With eRD, your GP sends a series of repeat prescriptions electronically to your chosen pharmacy. You can then collect your medicines or ask for home delivery.
What eRD Means for You
eRD allows your GP to send multiple repeat prescriptions at once, so you don’t need to order each one separately. It is reliable, secure, and confidential. Your prescriptions are stored safely on the NHS database and ready for collection when you need them.
How eRD Can Benefit You
If you get regular or repeat medicines, eRD can help you:
– Save time by avoiding unnecessary trips or calls to your GP
– Order or cancel repeat prescriptions online (if your practice offers this)
– Pick up your medicines directly from your pharmacy without visiting your GP
– Spend less time waiting at the pharmacy or GP practice
– Save paper by not needing a paper prescription
How Do I Sign Up for eRD?
It’s easy to sign up for eRD — just ask your GP or pharmacist to set it up for you.
