## Research questions

### Is a repeat-prescription request the same event as pharmacy dispensing?

NHS App guidance separates England GP approval from pharmacy preparation. A request can be approved or rejected; pharmacy readiness and collected or dispatched statuses follow later. Suggested practice: count requests, approvals and dispensing separately rather than treating a repeat request as a completed medicine order.

### Why might a repeat medicine be unavailable to request online?

For England's NHS App, the guidance lists conditions such as a recent request still awaiting GP approval, a required review, requesting too soon or a GP not allowing the request. An unavailable control does not establish lost demand or a dispensing failure; it can mark a prescribing-workflow boundary.

### Can prescription tracking be promised to every NHS App user?

England's NHS App guidance says pharmacy tracking is being introduced gradually and is not available to everyone. Where available, it can distinguish preparation, partial readiness, readiness and collection or dispatch. An advertiser should name the supported route instead of promising universal tracking or interpreting partial readiness as complete fulfillment.

### Does changing a nominated pharmacy reroute an already requested repeat prescription?

Preserved NHS App guidance for England (last reviewed 6 December 2023) warns that an outstanding prescription may still go to the previous pharmacy after a nomination change. Changing the destination is distinct from moving an existing order. Suggested practice: resolve the current prescription's destination before interpreting a nomination change as completed pharmacy transfer.
