Electronic Prescription Service Tracker - REST API

Overview

Use this API to track a patient’s prescriptions within the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) using our Electronic Prescription Service Tracker.

You can search for a list of prescriptions that meet your query parameters by providing: 

  • patient's NHS number (mandatory)
  • format (mandatory)
  • prescription date range (optional)
  • prescription status (optional)
  • prescription version (optional)

Once you find the prescription, or if you already know its details, you can retrieve it by providing:

  • prescription ID (mandatory)
  • format (mandatory)
  • issue number (optional)

For more details, see Introduction to Spine EPS Tracker.

This API is only for use when the end user is a healthcare worker, not a patient. You can vote to make it available to patients on our interactive backlog.
