Contract guides for PCOs and support staff launched
The National Pharmaceutical Association has launched guides for primary care organisations and support staff to help them implement the new contract.
The “New community pharmacy contract in England implementation
toolkit”, for PCOs, will only be available electronically. It will
be an evolving resource and will develop as more information becomes
available. The toolkit includes examples of different ways in which PCOs
have dealt with the implementation process. The NPA hopes that other
PCOs will feed in more examples of developments in their areas, so that
these can be included in updated versions.
“The NPA pharmacy support staff guide to the essential services” is
a booklet designed to prepare all support staff for the new contract.
It concentrates on essential services and includes an overview of the
new pharmacy contract in England and Wales. Copies of the guide for support
staff have been sent to all NPA member in England and Wales.
The toolkit for PCOs is available as a PDF file (2.4 MB).
Further information about the booklet for support staff is available
from the NPA’s
training department on 01727 858687
extension 3475. |
