Patients in Wiltshire will now have access to online healthcare services as a number of GP practices are introducing electronic prescriptions.

A free NHS repeat prescription service from mail order pharmacy Pharmacy2U is one of the new ‘e-services’ being made available to local patients, which will benefit people who work long hours, the elderly and housebound.

A number of GP practices in Trowbridge, Melksham and Devizes are introducing the electronic prescriptions, which will give patients new choices as to where and how they get their prescriptions dispensed.
