HRT PPC single-item prescribing – GP IT automation update
Posted on:
More than half of GP surgeries now have a digital solution available, which will automatically issue HRT items on separate prescriptions (one for each item) at the point of prescribing. This is an important step in ensuring there isn’t additional burden for practices and pharmacy teams. NHS England and DHSC are continuing to work together with suppliers to implement changes across all GP IT systems over the coming months.
In the meantime, where a change hasn’t yet been automated, please remember that prescribers are required to issue all HRT items as single-item prescriptions.
