Digital prescriptions in the NHS App

Patients can now view their prescriptions in the NHS App, including repeat prescriptions, and one-off prescriptions. 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.

We’ve created the promotional materials on this page to help you inform your patients about ordering repeat prescriptions in the NHS App.

They can use the NHS App to

view items prescribed
the prescription type (repeat or one-off)
who the prescribing professional is

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.
