Prescriptions notice for Bath/Shower emollients

NHS England advise that Emollient bath and shower preparations have been identified as low priority treatments due to a lack of evidence of effectiveness and recommend that they are no longer prescribed.

We are therefore in the process of removing Bath and Shower products from repeat prescriptions in a phased approach. The leaflet from NHS England explains this decision and other options available for patients. If you have any questions about the prescribing of bath and shower prescribing please email them to: england.medicines@nhs.net
