Patients can now view their prescriptions on the NHS App, including repeat prescriptions, and one-off prescriptions.
Patients can use the NHS App to:
- view items prescribed
- the prescription type (repeat or one-off)
- who the prescribing professional is
This gives patients earlier visibility of exactly what their healthcare provider has prescribed for them and what they will then collect or receive from pharmacies.
Patients without a nominated pharmacy will also be able to view a prescription barcode in their NHS App. This barcode can be presented to a pharmacist without having to collect a paper prescription from their GP.
