Non-medical prescribing services
Free up NHS prescribing capacity and speed up patient switches with a fully managed non-medical prescribing service, delivered by qualified Pharmacist Independent Prescribers on behalf of the NHS.
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. 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, so patient switches proceed more efficiently, prescriptions are filled faster and patient treatment is maximised.

How our non-medical prescribing service works
When a patient needs to switch brand, provider or outpatient pharmacy, our pharmacists generate the new prescription so hospital teams can keep their clinical time focused on patient care.
Complete NHS involvement with enhanced efficiency
The NHS remains fully involved, with visibility of all prescribing activity easily available. By removing the need for hospitals to generate new prescriptions, patient switches can proceed even more smoothly than before, without requiring additional resources.
Streamlined onboarding
Our streamlined onboarding process means patient information is securely uploaded, pre-populated prescriptions are prepared and renewals are managed efficiently. This dramatically reduces administrative burden whilst maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance.
Expanding scope
As the scope of non-medical prescribing expands, we are upskilling pharmacists to support weight management services, exploring opportunities in oncology and using pharmacists with specialist knowledge to guide best practice. We ensure that training aligns with NHS needs, so our prescribing workforce delivers valuable capacity support in diverse therapy areas to meet evolving NHS requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What is non-medical prescribing?
Non-medical prescribing enables qualified pharmacists to write prescriptions on behalf of the NHS. This service relieves hospitals of the administrative burden of issuing new prescriptions whilst maintaining full NHS visibility and oversight.
How does non-medical prescribing support patient switches?
When a patient moves between providers, brands or outpatient pharmacies, we handle the complete prescription process — from securely uploading patient data to issuing the prepopulated prescription — so treatment continues without interruption and the hospital does not need to generate anything new.

Yes, the NHS remains fully involved with complete transparency. All prescribing activity is easily visible through our digital portal, ensuring hospitals have full oversight from start to finish whilst benefiting from reduced administrative burden and faster patient transitions.

We are expanding our scope by upskilling pharmacists for weight management services and exploring opportunities in oncology, using pharmacists with specialist knowledge to guide best practice and meet evolving NHS requirements.
