Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) rolled out in six NHS hospital trusts

The EPS is already widely used in primary care. It has commenced rollout in secondary care, with six NHS hospital trusts now sending outpatient prescriptions electronically to community pharmacies, following a successful pilot in 2020 to support Covid-19 patients.
