Changes to Pharmacy Sales telephone number

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) has launched a new Pharmacy Sales helpline number.

For advice about selling NHS Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs), or help logging on to the PPC Sales Portal, pharmacy contractors can now call 0300 330 1009

The helpline is open Monday to Friday 9:00-17:00.

For more information about selling PPCs, visit: www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/ppc

The NHSBSA, has also seen a recent increase in the number of complaints from patients who have been given the Pharmacy Sales Helpline number in error.

Patients who wish to re-order or buy an NHS PPC can do so via the PPC enquiry line on 0330 330 1341 or by visiting: https://apps.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/ppc-online/patient.do 

Do not give out the Pharmacy Technical Helpline number to patients or members of the public. The number for the PPC Sales Portal is only available for providing technical help to contractors.
