NHS England: NHS 111 should deliver 'higher volume' of CPCS referrals
More NHS 111 patient requests could be converted into Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) referrals, an NHS England director has said.
“In some parts of the country, almost every urgent medicine supply query that comes to NHS 111 is converted into a pharmacy referral,” Ed Waller, NHS England director of primary care strategy, said at the Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies (AIMp) conference at the end of last month (January 23).
However, that is “slightly less true” in other parts of England, Mr Waller added. Chemist + Druggist
