July 2022 Price Increase
With effect from 1st July 2022 prices of secure and non-secure products will increase due to annual indexation and increase costs of paper. Full details of the anticipated individual product increases will be distributed directly from the Authority (NHSBSA) to Ordering Organisations.
July 2022 ICB Changes
Due to the changes for some Ordering Organisations from CCG’s to ICB’s we would advise that no personalised prescriptions be ordered for prescribers currently linked to CCG’s from 29th June 2022 to 6th July 2022 as the data printed on the prescriptions may show the CCG details rather than the new ICB details.

National Patient Safety Alert - Steroid Emergency Card to support early recognition and treatment of adrenal crisis in adults
A National Patient Safety Alert has been issued asking providers to ensure all eligible patients with adrenal insufficiency are issued with a new Steroid Emergency Card; and that processes are put in place to check if a patient has a Steroid Emergency Card if presenting very unwell to emergency services or emergency departments, or undergoing elective/emergency surgery, or other invasive procedures. This card can be ordered after August 18th.
Ordering is through usual mechanisms ie secondary care is through the NHSforms portal and Primary care is through Primary Care Support England.
If the order needs to be raised through NHS Forms you may need to raise a Non-Catalogue Requisition in Oracle, selecting supplier as XEROX, and a requisition can be raised for the order with NHS Forms.
