Digital prescriptions go live in NHS App
People will be able to use the NHS App to view their prescriptions. Following a successful trial last year NHS England is adding the new service to the app which will allow patients to see when their prescriptions have been issued and view their prescribed medication. Patients waiting for an elective hospital treatment will also now be able to see the average waiting time for their procedure at their local trust, and users without a nominated pharmacy will be able to use a barcode in the app to collect their prescription from any pharmacy instead of needing a paper version.
