On some services, such as Ask the Practice a question and Ask the Doctor a question once the Practice has processed your request they will send you a response. This response will be sent to the email address that you have given in the form.
For security purposes the email will ask that you verify your identification. Once you have completed this the message from the surgery will be shown for you to read.
This service always uses fully encrypted connections, the same security as used in internet banking. If you look at the right of the address bar, you will see a small padlock icon. This indicates that you are using a secure link and that your data is encrypted.

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is a NHS service that allows prescriptions to be sent direct to pharmacies through IT systems used in GP surgeries. This means that your GP at the university can give you a repeat prescription and you can elect to pick it up at a chosen pharmacy, which may be at your home address if you return home during the holidays.
