How can your Pharmacist help?

The NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) offers patients who have a minor illness condition or need an urgent supply of a regular medicine, a same day consultation with a community pharmacist after referral from an urgent treatment centre or emergency department.

Referring suitable patients to a community pharmacist for a consultation under CPCS helps improve access to primary care services, supports patients to be treated by the right healthcare professional at the right time and improves the integration of community pharmacy into urgent care.
