NHS Prescription Service FAQ
What is the NHS prescription service?
The NHS prescription service manages electronic and paper prescriptions in England. It handles pricing, reimbursement to pharmacies, prescription tracking, and prescription data.
How do I order a repeat prescription?
Use the NHS App or your GP’s online service to order repeat prescriptions. Log in, select your medication, and send it for approval. You can nominate a pharmacy.
Can I track my prescription?
Yes. The NHS App now provides real‑time tracking—an “Amazon‑style” feature shows when your medicine is ready or dispatched by the pharmacy.
What are the prescription charges?
In England, each item usually costs £9.90. Some groups are exempt or pay reduced charges.
What is the NHS Low Income Scheme?
This helps people with limited savings or income to claim financial help on prescriptions, dental care, travel, wigs, and more.
How do electronic (digital) prescriptions help?
Digital prescribing cuts errors, saves time, speeds delivery, and can offer cost-saving generic alternatives.
Who handles prescription processing and payments?
NHS Prescription Services (part of NHSBSA) processes over 3 million prescriptions daily, calculates pharmacy payments, and runs prescribing data reports.
