Paper scripts slow private practice down

Private clinicians still juggle handwritten pads, scanned PDFs, and disconnected pharmacy emails. Each handoff adds delay, risk, and admin — with little visibility once a prescription leaves the room.

Private eRx replaces that patchwork with a single prescribing workspace: structured medicines, digital signatures, status tracking, and secure fulfilment — all connected to PCS Hub and PCS Clinic when your practice needs it.

  • End-to-end visibility from draft to pharmacy collection
  • No re-keying medicines — import from the PCS Hub catalogue
  • Consultations from PCS Clinic arrive ready to prescribe against

Built for modern private prescribing

Everything clinicians need to move from paper to compliant electronic prescriptions — connected to the wider PCS platform.

Prescription workflows

Customisable kanban flows from draft to fulfilment. Sign digitally, track status, and send to pharmacy or back to PCS Clinic.

PCS Hub medicine library

Sync and import from the shared PCS medicine catalogue. Bulk import, reset defaults, and keep your clinic formulary current.

PCS Clinic handoff

Receive consultations from PCS Clinic and return signed prescriptions seamlessly — with evidence and audit trail preserved.

Team roles & permissions

Invite staff, assign custom roles, and control who can prescribe, sign, fulfil, or manage clinic settings.

See every script at a glance

Move prescriptions through custom workflow columns — draft, awaiting signature, ready to send, and fulfilled. Each card shows patient, medicine, and status so nothing slips through between consult and pharmacy.

Secure handoff, not open attachments

Send prescriptions by email with a protected fulfilment link, or return them to PCS Clinic for integrated dispensing. Pharmacies retrieve scripts with a token — reducing exposure of patient data in inboxes.

Who Private eRx is for

Designed for every role in the private prescribing chain — from the consulting room to the pharmacy counter.

  • Kanban prescription board
  • Patient and medicine management
  • Identity-verified onboarding

Pharmacies

Community and specialist pharmacies fulfilling private electronic prescriptions through secure token-based retrieval — no account required for lookup.

  • Token-protected script access
  • Clear item and dosing details
  • Fulfilment confirmation trail

Clinic operators

Practice managers and clinic owners on PCS Clinic who want prescribing integrated with bookings, consultations, and team permissions.

  • Staff roles and invitations
  • Hub formulary sync

How PCS fits together

Private eRx sits at the prescribing layer — fed by PCS Hub data and PCS Clinic consultations, with fulfilment back to pharmacy or clinic.

1

PCS Hub

Central medicine library and platform configuration. Clinics import formulary items and stay aligned with shared catalogue updates.

2

PCS Clinic

Patient bookings, consultations, and clinic operations. When a consult needs a script, hand off to Private eRx with context intact.

3

Private eRx

Prescribe, sign, and track electronic private prescriptions. Return fulfilled scripts to Clinic or send securely to pharmacy.

From registration to pharmacy

A clear path for clinicians joining the platform and issuing their first electronic prescription.

01

Register & verify

Complete onboarding with identity verification. We review your submission before activating your prescribing workspace.

02

Add patients & medicines

Create patient records, import from the PCS Hub library, and configure your clinic's prescription workflows.

03

Prescribe & fulfil

Issue signed e-prescriptions, send to pharmacy by email, or hand back to PCS Clinic for integrated fulfilment.

Built for accountable private prescribing

Security and traceability are not add-ons — they are woven through every prescription action.

UK prescribing context

Workflows designed around private UK prescribing practice — structured medicines, prescriber verification, and clinic-scoped patient data.

Advanced electronic signatures

Prescriptions are signed digitally before release. Signature events are recorded with timestamp and prescriber identity.

Activity audit trail

Draft, edit, sign, send, and fulfilment actions are logged so clinics can demonstrate what happened and when.

Secure pharmacy handoff

Fulfilment tokens limit who can view a script. Pharmacies access only what they need to dispense — not a permanent open file.

What clinicians value

Early feedback from private practice teams using electronic prescribing workflows.

“Having consultations from PCS Clinic land ready to prescribe cut our admin time significantly. We are not re-entering patient details or hunting for paper pads.”

Practice manager Multi-site private dermatology clinic

“The prescription board gives the whole team visibility. We know what is waiting for signature and what has gone to pharmacy without chasing emails.”

Clinical lead Independent prescriber, aesthetics practice

“Token-based pharmacy fulfilment is exactly what we needed — patients get their medicines faster and we have a clear record of when scripts were retrieved.”

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from clinicians and clinic teams considering Private eRx.

Who can register for Private eRx?

Licensed prescribers and clinic owners completing identity verification. We review registrations before activating prescribing access to ensure each workspace is appropriately authorised.

Do I need PCS Clinic to use Private eRx?

No. Private eRx works as a standalone prescribing workspace. If you also use PCS Clinic, consultations can hand off to Private eRx and signed scripts can return to the clinic record automatically.

How do pharmacies receive prescriptions?

You can email a fulfilment link to the patient's chosen pharmacy. The pharmacy uses the secure token lookup page to retrieve script details — no Private eRx account required on their side.

Can multiple staff members share one clinic?

Yes. Invite team members and assign custom roles controlling who can draft, sign, fulfil, or manage clinic settings. Permissions are enforced throughout the prescribing workflow.

Where is patient data stored?

Private eRx is UK-hosted. Patient records, prescription history, and audit logs remain within your clinic workspace with role-based access controls.

How do I get access?

Register your interest to begin onboarding. After verification review, your prescribing workspace is activated and you can import medicines from PCS Hub and start issuing electronic prescriptions.
