Preparing for pharmacy first
To prepare for the launch of the NHS Pharmacy First Advanced Service, pharmacy contractors are urged to familiarise themselves with the service specification and clinical pathways and opt in and register to deliver these services via the Manage Your Service platform. Pharmacies delivering the community pharmacist consultation service need to opt in by 31 January 2024, to qualify for the one off initial fixed payment of £2000. Contractors who registered to deliver the current Tier 1 NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service, are also reminded to opt-in to the new extended service via the Manage Your Service system, by 29 February 2024.
