Recording EPS Exceptions

If appropriate you should exclude patients from using the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). To exclude patients from EPS, add one of the following clinical terms to their record:

  • Patients who live on the border of England and collect their items from Scottish or Welsh pharmacies:
    • 9Re..00Electronic Prescription Service exception - cross-border patient
  • If your practice or the practice that patients collect their prescriptions from is a dispensing practice who is not EPS enabled:
    • 9Rf..00Electronic Prescription Service exception - dispensing general practice not yet Electronic Prescription Service compliant
Note - The NHS SpineDemographics consent flag does not apply to EPS and can therefore be ignored for EPS processing.
