Understanding Prescriptions and Emergency Supplies in Care Homes
This lesson provides an overview of the two main types of prescriptions used in England: NHS prescriptions and Private prescriptions. It explains who is eligible for free NHS prescriptions, how prescription charges work, and the role of Prepayment Certificates (PPCs). The lesson also covers the process for obtaining emergency supplies of medicines for care home residents, including when they are appropriate, the pharmacist's role, and how to prevent running out of medication through proper ordering and stock management.
