From Community Pharmacy England (CPE)
CPE recently hosted a webinar on the introduction of Category H, a new Part VIIIA category being introduced for drugs with multiple suppliers. Starting in March 2026, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) will transition an initial 11 products from Category C to Category H as part of a phased rollout.
The recorded session explains the background, CPE's response to the proposals, and the new price-setting arrangements.
As well as the webinar recording, pharmacy owners and their teams can also learn more in CPE's comprehensive FAQs.
