Why It Matters
Why Private Prescribers Need E-Prescribing
E-prescribing is especially important for private healthcare where prescriptions fall outside the NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). Private prescribers — pharmacists, GPs, nurses, and specialists — need a dedicated platform to create, send, and manage prescriptions electronically instead of using handwritten paper forms.
Eliminate Prescription Errors
Typed, structured prescriptions reduce illegibility and dosage mistakes — removing the risk of handwriting errors that account for a significant share of dispensing mistakes.
Speed Up Consultations
Auto-populated templates with patient details and medication data cut consultation time by 10–15 minutes per patient, so prescribers can see more patients each day.
Ensure Compliance
Automatic contraindication checks, complete audit trails, and inspection-ready records keep you compliant with GPhC and CQC standards at all times.
Enable Remote Prescribing
Issue prescriptions after video consultations from any device — expanding your reach beyond your physical location to serve patients across the UK.
RxSure goes beyond basic e-prescribing by integrating the prescription workflow into a complete platform that also handles patient booking, pre-screening questionnaires, guided clinical consultations, payment collection, and regulatory compliance.
Why Go Digital
E-Prescribing vs Paper Prescriptions
Why UK pharmacies and clinics are switching from paper to electronic prescribing
Paper prescriptions account for an estimated 37% of medication dispensing mistakes due to handwriting errors, with no automatic drug interaction checking. E-prescribing eliminates these risks with typed, structured prescriptions, built-in safety checks, and a complete digital audit trail — reducing consultation time by 10–15 minutes per patient.
Paper Prescriptions
- Handwriting errors cause dispensing mistakes
- No automatic contraindication checks
- Paper records hard to search and audit
- No remote prescribing capability
- Manual GP notification letters
- Time-consuming GPhC inspection preparation
RxSure E-Prescribing
- Typed, structured prescriptions — zero legibility issues
- Guided safety checks prevent unsafe prescribing
- Instant search, full audit trail, organised for inspections
- Prescribe after video consultations from any device
- Auto-generated GP notification letters
- Compliance dashboard — built for GPhC and CQC standards
E-Prescribing Features
What RxSure E-Prescribing Software Includes
A complete electronic prescribing workflow — not just a prescription generator
Electronic Prescription Generation
Generate professional digital prescriptions with auto-populated patient details, medication name, dosage, quantity, directions, and prescriber information. Prescriptions are branded with your practice identity, include all required legal elements, and can be sent digitally or printed.
Clinical Safety System
Every e-prescribing consultation is guided by Summary of Product Characteristics data. Automatic contraindication detection, drug interaction warnings, dosage range checks, and clinical safety blocks ensure you never prescribe unsafely. Unique to RxSure — no other UK e-prescribing platform offers this.
Pre-Screening Questionnaires
Automated questionnaires sent to patients before their appointment collect medical history, current medications, allergies, and relevant clinical information. Responses are reviewed before the consultation begins, saving 10+ minutes per appointment and improving clinical accuracy.
Video Consultation Integration
Built-in video call support enables remote e-prescribing consultations. Perfect for follow-up appointments, initial assessments, and patients who cannot attend in person. The full e-prescribing workflow — from consultation to prescription — works seamlessly over video.
Complete Audit Trail
Every action in the e-prescribing workflow is logged with timestamps: consultation start, clinical decisions, safety checks performed, consent captured, prescription generated, and patient notification. Automatic, tamper-proof, and always ready for GPhC or CQC inspection.
GP Communication
Automatic GP notification letters generated after each private prescription. Letters include consultation summary, prescribed medication, clinical rationale, and follow-up recommendations. Professional, consistent, and ready to send — improving continuity of care.

Common Questions
E-Prescribing Software FAQ
Common questions about e-prescribing in the UK
What is e-prescribing software?
E-prescribing software (electronic prescribing software) is a digital platform that enables healthcare professionals to create, manage, and issue prescriptions electronically rather than on paper. It includes features like digital prescription generation, patient record management, clinical decision support, and compliance tools. RxSure extends basic e-prescribing with online booking, guided clinical consultations, payment processing, and multi-site management.
Is e-prescribing legal in the UK?
Yes, e-prescribing is legal in the UK for both NHS and private prescriptions. The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 permit electronic prescriptions provided they meet specific requirements including prescriber identification, patient details, and medication information. For private prescriptions, the prescriber must be appropriately qualified and registered. RxSure ensures all e-prescriptions meet UK legal requirements.
What is the best e-prescribing software in the UK?
The best e-prescribing software depends on your needs. Some free tools offer basic prescription generation for doctors, while per-prescription platforms suit low-volume prescribers. For an all-in-one platform with booking, guided clinical consultations, payment processing, and multi-site management alongside e-prescribing, RxSure is the most comprehensive solution available for UK pharmacies and clinics.
What are the benefits of e-prescribing vs paper prescriptions?
E-prescribing eliminates handwriting errors, provides automatic contraindication checks, creates searchable digital records, enables remote prescribing via video consultations, generates automatic GP notification letters, and maintains complete audit trails for regulatory inspections. Studies show e-prescribing reduces medication errors by up to 50% compared to handwritten prescriptions.
How much does e-prescribing software cost?
E-prescribing software pricing varies. Some platforms offer free basic prescribing for doctors but lack booking or payment features. Others charge per prescription or offer free tiers with volume caps. RxSure offers Pharmacy and Clinic plans at £199/month each with no per-prescription fees and a 1 month free trial. Clinic plans include multi-clinician support at £50/mo per additional clinician.
Can pharmacist independent prescribers use e-prescribing?
Yes. Pharmacist independent prescribers registered with the GPhC can use e-prescribing software for private prescriptions. RxSure is specifically designed for pharmacist prescribers, with features like GPhC verification badges on public profiles, guided clinical consultation templates, and compliance tools aligned with GPhC standards for prescribing pharmacists.
Does e-prescribing software integrate with pharmacy systems?
RxSure is a standalone e-prescribing and practice management platform. It generates digital prescriptions that can be printed or sent electronically. While it does not directly integrate with PMR systems like EMIS or Cegedim, prescriptions generated through RxSure contain all required information for dispensing and can be printed in standard prescription format.
What compliance features should e-prescribing software have?
Essential compliance features include: complete audit trails with timestamps, prescriber identification and verification, patient consent recording, clinical decision documentation, contraindication checking, data encryption and GDPR compliance, and staff competency tracking. RxSure includes all of these plus GPhC-specific compliance dashboards, CQC reporting tools, DBS monitoring, and insurance expiry alerts.
