Welcome to SignatureRx


Welcome to SignatureRx

Learn how to get started with SignatureRx, an advanced electronic private prescription platform designed for clinicians and telemedicine providers.


SignatureRx allows prescribers to issue secure, paperless private prescriptions and send them directly to pharmacies across the UK or for home delivery.

The platform is designed to:

  • Save time (no printing, signing, or posting prescriptions)
  • Improve efficiency for clinics and telemedicine providers
  • Provide a secure, compliant prescribing workflow

How SignatureRx Works

  • Prescribers generate prescriptions digitally using an advanced electronic signature that meets regulatory standards under the Human Medicine's Regulation 2012
  • Each prescription is assigned a unique Prescription ID, securely shared with the patient
  • Patients can present this Prescription ID at any GPhC-registered pharmacy across the UK or opt for delivery from our online pharmacy, Signature Pharmacy
  • Once a prescription has been dispensed and marked accordingly, it cannot be reused or redeemed elsewhere

Controlled Drugs (FP10CD Requirements)


Important:
If the prescription is for a Controlled Drug (FP10CD), additional requirements apply.
  • The prescription for Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 controlled drugs must be printed onto FP10CD private prescriptions obtained from NHS, and they must have a wet signature by the prescriber
  • The pharmacy must receive the original physical prescription before dispensing
  • Digital-only prescriptions are not sufficient for these medications

What This Means for Prescribers

  • You may still create the prescription via SignatureRx
  • However, you must ensure the original printed prescription is provided
  • The pharmacy can not legally dispense without the required paper copy for all schedule 2 and 3 controlled drugs  


Cost of Using SignatureRx

SignatureRx operates on a credit-based system:

  • Prescriptions are issued using tokens (credits)
  • Each prescription typically costs around £1 + VAT

This makes it a cost-effective alternative to traditional paper prescribing.

Key points

  • SignatureRx lets prescribers issue secure, paperless private prescriptions sent to pharmacies UK-wide or for home delivery.
  • Controlled Drugs (FP10CD) still require a printed original with a wet signature before a pharmacy can dispense.
  • The platform uses a credit-based system, with each prescription typically costing around £1 plus VAT.

1. How does SignatureRx work?

Answer: Prescribers issue digital prescriptions with a unique Prescription ID.

Prescriptions are generated using an electronic signature that meets regulatory standards under the Human Medicines Regulations 2012. Each prescription is assigned a unique Prescription ID, securely shared with the patient, who can present it at any GPhC-registered pharmacy or opt for delivery via Signature Pharmacy. Once dispensed, a prescription cannot be reused.

2. What's different about Controlled Drugs (FP10CD)?

Answer: They require a printed, wet-signed original before dispensing.

Schedule 2 and 3 controlled drug prescriptions must be printed onto FP10CD private prescription forms and carry a wet (handwritten) signature. Pharmacies cannot legally dispense these without the original paper copy, even though the prescription can still be created digitally in SignatureRx.

3. How much does it cost to use SignatureRx?

Answer: It operates on a pay-as-you-go, credit-based system.

Prescriptions are issued using tokens (credits), with each prescription typically costing around £1 plus VAT, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional paper prescribing.
