NHS App

Patients can view EPS information within the NHS App

The NHS App now allows patients to view their EPS prescribed items, including prescriber information. The feature was piloted successfully in Yorkshire and has now been fully rolled out nationally.

While most patients will continue to have their prescriptions dispensed by their local pharmacy, some may choose to take their non-nominated prescriptions to other pharmacies within England. The presence of EPS barcode numbers in the app can assist pharmacy teams in dealing with outlier situations such as Phase 4 prescriptions and prescriptions which have been returned to the Spine by another pharmacy.
