PharmOutcomes Support for Pharmacy First

The PharmOutcomes team have created templates to support delivery of all elements of the service. There are three key parts to the Pharmacy First service:

  1. Minor Illness consultation with the pharmacist.
  2. Urgent medicines supply.
  3. Clinical pathways consultations supporting the treatment of seven common conditions under a Patient Group Direction (PGD) or protocol.

Parts 1 and 2 are referral only services, these templates will look very similar to exiting CPCS ones.

What’s new?

  1. Direct links to referral centres supporting Pharmacy First referrals to pharmacies from all NHS 111 call centres, more than 4500 GP practices, plus many Urgent Treatment Centres.
  2. Intuitive templates to support record keeping for each aspect of the service.
  3. All post event messages sent to the patient’s GP practice via GP Connect on saving the consultation information. This means all required recorded outcomes are sent directly into the GP practice system supporting more accurate record keeping.
  4. All service claims sent directly into the MYS portal for the pharmacy as records are saved.
  5. Service templates available to support patients presenting at the pharmacy for treatment under one of the seven clinical pathways.
  6. Provides a solution to managing onward referral of patients to and from other pharmacies for either urgent medicines supply or support under one of the seven clinical pathways.
