What is an electronic prescription?

An electronic prescription is a convenient new way to receive and fill prescriptions. Rather than getting a paper prescription, your doctor can securely send your script to your phone or email.

How can I access or view my electronic prescription?

Your electronic prescription will be sent to you via a URL link via SMS or email. When the URL has been clicked, it will open a webpage showing you your electronic prescription as a token.

What if I don't want to use an electronic prescription?

You can still choose to receive a paper prescription. Just let your prescriber know your preferred method.

Can I drop off my electronic prescription in an actual WholeLife Pharmacy?

Yes, you can drop off your electronic prescription at your local WholeLife pharmacy for dispensing, by showing your electronic prescription token on your phone to a pharmacy team member.

The pharmacy team member will scan the token to accept the electronic prescriptions into their system, ready for dispensing.

You can also drop off your prescription ahead of time by sending the electronic prescription via the MedAdvisor App.

How do I give my electronic prescription to a loved one so that they can pick up my prescription?

What happens if I accidentally delete the email or SMS that contains my electronic prescriptions?

Contact your GP to cancel the electronic prescription and request a new one. They will send you a new token.

If you have deleted your repeat token, your WholeLife pharmacy that had previously dispensed the electronic prescription, can reissue the most recent repeat for that medication.

Will I get a separate token for each medicine I am prescribed?

Yes, you will get a separate token for each medication you are prescribed. If you have repeats on your prescription, your local WholeLife pharmacy team will send you a new token for your next repeat. You will need to give the new token to the pharmacist when your next repeat is due.
