Funding & Reimbursement Shorts: Prescription switching
As part of our Funding & Reimbursement Shorts series, Community Pharmacy England’s in-house Drug Tariff and funding experts have created a new video on prescription switching.
In this video, Alisha Khatri and Sarah Welbourne from our Dispensing and Supply Team discuss the topic of prescription switching to explain:
- What prescription switching is and why FP10 paper prescriptions are switched by the NHSBSA
- Where to find information about your switched prescriptions
- The financial impact of switching due to unsigned prescriptions
- How to complete, sort and submit your prescriptions correctly to avoid prescription switching
