Written by AlisonFreemantle on Friday 23rd September 2022

What you can do to make a start, including training table & links

CPSC will be covering PQS and other elements of the year 4 & year 5 of our NHS contract in our webinar on Monday 10th October. Sign up for the webinar here:

While we wait for full details to be published here are a few things to start working on when capacity allows:

  1. Gateway – New Medicine Service

One of the Gateway criteria requires the pharmacy to have claimed for 20 completed New Medicine Service (NMS) provisions between 1st April 2022 and 31st March 2023.

  1. Training requirements

There are several training requirements that pharmacies will need to meet in different domains. Several training requirements have been included in previous years so please check on the table for validity period for that training element and whether you will need to complete again.
