PQS Evidence checklist update
Written by admin on Friday 20th November 2020
CPSC and PSNC have published a range of guidance and resources for LPCs and Contractors
Full details for the PQS – Part 2 published by NHS England and NHS Improvement were shared on the CPSC website in the following CPSC News article on 4th September:
In this article there are links to further information about PQS and specifically the Part 2 domains. There has since been further updates by PSNC including more resources and a newly published checklist.
CPSC would like to clarify that although the PSNC checklist provides many useful 'suggested' examples of suitable evidence, they are not compulsory for any pharmacy to complete. An example of this would be: printing out local antibiotic guidelines​, as this is inappropriate for our area due to the resource being kept up to date virtually on an App (see CPSC website page)
CPSC recommends using the 'PQS home page' on the CPSC website as a source for all useful documents.
The documents are available by clicking on the drop-down index list (positioned half way down the page), named 'Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS) - new information and updates':
Of particular usefulness are:
- PQS Part 2 - 2020/21 Summary
- PQS Domain 4 & 5 checklist
- PQS Domain 2 – Weight Management local services & audit
- CPSC PQS Checklist .... coming soon
