Electronic Prescriptions
Selected outpatient clinics at Royal Perth Hospital are now offering electronic prescriptions.
They are a new type of prescription. Electronic prescriptions enable the prescribing and dispensing of medicines without the need for a physical paper prescription. They are an alternative option to receiving paper prescriptions.
RPH outpatient clinics commenced in July 22 with the Haematology, Immunology, Gastroenterology & Liver Service and Pain Management services. Further clinics will offer electronic prescriptions in the coming months.
Please ask your Doctor if you would prefer an electronic prescription.
