About Course
Prescriptions in England cost £9.90 per item in 2026 to 2027 – but many people are entitled to them free, and others can save with a prepayment certificate. This course explains who gets free prescriptions, how prepayment certificates work, the NHS Low Income Scheme, and how to avoid a penalty charge for claiming wrongly.
Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course is general information from published NHS guidance for England in 2026 to 2027. Check your own entitlement with NHSBSA before claiming free prescriptions.
