How to return unwanted medicine
Those patients who wish to return unwanted medicine:

Please note that we cannot take return of unwanted medicine from you in person at our pharmacy premises.
We kindly request that you contact us by telephone in advance if you have any questions regarding your unwanted medicines.
The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS Service which enables your prescriptions to be sent electronically to the pharmacy or dispenser of your choice. If you get regular prescriptions, EPS may be able to save you time by eliminating unnecessary trips to your GP.
Please be aware that you must be registered with a GP in England to use this service.
What does this mean for you?
If you normally collect your repeat prescriptions from your GP, with EPS you will not have to visit your GP practice to pick up your paper prescription. Instead, your GP will send it electronically to the place you choose.
This provides greater choice about where to get your medicines from, because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop. You may not have to wait as long at the pharmacy as they can be prepared in advance, before you arrive.
Is this service right for you?
Yes, if you:
don’t want to go to your GP practice every time to collect your repeat prescription.
collect your medicines from the same place most of the time or use a prescription collection service provided by a ph
It may not be if you:
like to pick up your medicines from different places or visit your pharmacy to personally collect your medicine.
Important Information
You do not have to have your prescriptions sent from your doctor to your pharmacist using the EPS, but if you choose to have paper prescriptions, you cannot choose to have your prescriptions sent automatically to a particular pharmacy.
If you decide to use the EPS, you may choose any EPS pharmacy for your convenience. You do not have to choose a pharmacy that is near to your doctor’s surgery.
Electronic prescriptions will be sent directly from your doctor’s computer to the pharmacy computer. Paper prescriptions are not required. The service will be secure and confidential.
If you choose to have your prescriptions sent to Blackpool Pharmacy via the EPS, your prescriptions will be sent here automatically. If you wish to make an alternative arrangement, for example, if you are going on holiday, you will need to tell your doctor.
You can choose to have your prescriptions sent to another pharmacy at any time, including part way through a series of repeat prescriptions collected directly from the pharmacy (repeat dispensing).
Please note that, if you have any prescriptions for appliances, these may be sent from your GP to an appliance contractor, instead of Blackpool Pharmacy.
