NHS Digital looking to speak to community pharmacists
The team at NHS Digital who are working on the Booking and Referrals standard are keen to hear your views on it
They would like to interview pharmacists who work in community to obtain their thoughts and feedback about how things are working currently and what would be helpful for the future.

What is Booking and Referral Standard (BaRS):
BaRS is a standard for healthcare IT systems which should enable booking and referral information to be sent to or from community pharmacies, quickly, safely and in a format useful to all. The intentions are that the BaRS IT standard will eventually be available in all care settings. The way the standard could be used in pharmacies is currently being considered, including the potential for use for referrals from NHS 111 to community pharmacy.
