Stands for ‘Electronic Prescription Service’ which is a system created by the NHS that enables your GP to send your prescription electronically to your 'nominated' pharmacy.
This is the pharmacy that you as a patient have chosen for all of your prescriptions to be sent to. You can only have one nominated pharmacy at a time, and you can change this at any time by contacting your GP or pharmacy.
Stands for ‘Summary Care Record’ which is an electronic version of your GP medical records. These records can only be accessed by authorised healthcare staff that are directly involved in your care. It contains basic information about you (i.e. your name, address, date of birth and NHS number), your allergies, current medications, any reactions to medication and medical notes from the GP.
On the ‘My Medications’ tab of your Phlo Digital Pharmacy account you will see your repeat medication list. This is a list of medications that your GP has authorised for you to use on a regular basis. You can request a further supply of the medication(s) on this list by putting through a‘prescription request’ when your supply is almost finished.
A prescription request (sometimes known as a ‘medication request’ or ‘repeat request’) is a request that is sent to your GP for a prescription of your regular repeat medication. This can be requested through your pharmacy, or through your GP surgery directly. On the ‘My Medications’ tab of your Phlo account, you can send a request by clicking the ‘Request medication’ button and selecting the medicines you would like to request.
At Phlo, because we are an online pharmacy, once your prescription has been received from your GP, we will create an order and give you an order number for your prescription. You will receive an email when your order is ready so that you can schedule a time slot for delivery.
