DMS is an essential service that all pharmacies are required to provide as part of their NHS contract. Please make sure you are actioning any referrals in a timely manner.
Most referrals will come via PharmOutcomes but all Portsmouth Hospitals Trust referrals and some Lymington referrals are arriving via NHSmail.
Current referral completion rates are:
- University Hospital Southampton 51%
- Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust (Basingstoke & Winchester) 53%
- St Mary’s, IOW 76%
End of month claiming
Run the DMS Manual Claim (found in reports, shown below) – this will provide you with all the information you need to enter on to MYS to claim funding.
