Non-medical prescribing services
Limited health system capacity delays prescription fills
Health systems including the NHS are under strain from a lack of prescribing capacity, which can contribute to delayed patient treatment and increased costs. Further, every patient switch, between providers, brands or outpatient pharmacies, requires the hospital to create a new prescription, a significant administrative burden that slows care delivery and reduces prescribing availability for other services.
Our non-medical prescribing service offers a vital solution by shifting the burden from the NHS to Sciensus, with full transparency to the NHS through our Sciensus Connect portal. Our highly qualified pharmacists write prescriptions on behalf of the NHS, reducing wait times and improving patient service delivery. By relieving some of the hospital burden to generate new prescriptions, patient switches proceed more smoothly, prescriptions are filled more quickly and patient treatment is maximised.
Reliable delivery ensures continuity of care
Fully automated and transparent process
Seamless transitions
Seamless prescribing support saves time and improves care
Our non-medical prescription service enables NHS hospitals to focus on patient care whilst we handle prescription generation for brand, provider and outpatient pharmacy switches. This removes the hospital’s need to create new prescriptions and ensures complete continuity of treatment for patients. The NHS remains fully involved, with visibility of all prescribing activity easily available through our digital portal. Our streamlined onboarding process means patient information is securely uploaded, pre-populated prescriptions are prepared and renewals are managed efficiently.
