Background

In 2019, the Community Pharmacy Consultation Service (CPCS) was introduced, supporting Referrals into Community Pharmacy for a minor illness consultation and/or an emergency supply of medicines. Initially the service focused on channel shifting Patients from the 111 services (telephony and 111 online), but it has since been expanded to include Referrals from General Practices. Currently these Referrals are being made via a myriad of methods, Pharmrefer which sends an email message if the pharmacy is not using Pharmoutcomes and NHS Mail where the GP may email the pharmacy.
