Avicenna has launched a free prescription ordering app called Manage My Meds, which enables customers to order and track repeat NHS prescriptions from their chosen pharmacy.

The digital service, which launched this month, integrates with NHS patient-facing services, meaning customers can manage their medications without requiring unnecessary visits to a GP.

Jonathan Power, CEO at Avicenna, said: “Our pharmacies are at the heart of the communities we serve, providing essential NHS services and being available to support our customers’ needs.

"Manage My Meds is an integrated website and mobile app, designed in conjunction with NHS Digital, which makes it convenient for customers to manage their healthcare from the comfort of their own home. No other app allows patients to do this so comprehensively – it’s a global first in healthcare innovation.”
