NHS App Script Ready
Posted or Updated on 30 Jun 2026
A new feature on the NHS App allows users to easily see the status of their repeat prescriptions in real time. Instead of waiting or calling the surgery, patients can log in to check if their medication is ready to collect or has been issued.
This update aims to improve convenience and save time for both patients and GP practices. It also helps reduce pressure on phone lines and reception teams by giving instant access to prescription updates.
