About the Electronic Prescriptions in Urgent Care programme
The Electronic Prescriptions in Urgent Care elearning programme has been created for prescribers in integrated urgent care who wish to use the NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) to issue prescriptions.
The short, interactive elearning resource, developed by NHS Digital, will take you through the EPS prescribing process step-by-step. It should be completed by both medical and non-medical prescribers before using the live EPS system.
Please note, the Electronic Prescription content does not support MS Edge at this time.
