NHS England has been working with community pharmacy system suppliers to develop clinical consultation record templates to support the delivery and reimbursement of essential and advanced clinical services.
In 2023/24, the systems for NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service, NHS Hypertension Case-Finding Service and NHS New Medicine Service were provided free of charge to contractors.
This period has been extended and did not revert to the business-as-usual provider pays approach where pharmacy owners contract and fund their own IT systems on 1 April 2024 as originally planned.
Contractors will be updated in due course on when NHS England expect to see suppliers revert to the business-as-usual approach.
