As part of our Funding & Reimbursement Shorts series Community Pharmacy England’s in-house Drug Tariff and funding experts have created a new video providing guidance on how handling ‘FS’ endorsed prescriptions for free supply of sexual health treatments.

In our latest video, Mitesh Bhudia and Gemma Hackett from our Dispensing and Supply Team, discuss the topic of ‘FS’ endorsed prescriptions, including:

  • Which treatments are covered by the ‘FS’ endorsement;
  • How prescribers should apply the ‘FS’ endorsement to prescriptions;
  • Dispensing and claiming for prescriptions with ‘FS’ endorsed items; and
  • Correct submission of prescriptions with ‘FS’ endorsed items.
