More than 2.7 million people have already used a new prescription feature in the NHS App since its launch two months ago.

The convenient new feature, which was launched in January, allows patients in England to see when their prescriptions have been issued and view their prescribed medication.

Since the launch, there have been 18.4 million views of prescriptions by people with a nominated pharmacy, meaning their medication details are sent electronically to their chosen pharmacy.
