PQS Aspiration Payment

Written by AlisonFreemantle on Friday 2nd May 2025

Claim Window Open until 16th May

Pharmacies can now claim for the aspiration payment for the Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS) MYS portal.

The Aspiration payment is optional; if pharmacies don’t want to claim it, it will not impact on their ability to claim during the declaration period (Feb 2026). 

To claim, review the requirements of the PQS 2025/26 and decide which domains you intend to complete for the PQS declaration and declare this on the MYS portal.

The maximum claim is 75% of your expected total points, each point is worth £57.50 (minimum). A confirmation email will be sent after submission – keep this for your records.

Aspiration payment claims must be done before 11.59pm on 16th May 2025.

Pharmacies will be paid their Aspiration payment on 1st July 2025.
