PSNC contract roadshows

Roadshows are to be organised later in the year by the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee to provide information and support to help contractors in England fully comply with the new community pharmacy contract services, the PSNC’s chief executive Sue Sharpe said at a press briefing following last week’s committee meeting.

The PSNC also announced that details of the implementation of electronic transmission of prescriptions will be available in the next few weeks and that pharmacies included in the Essential Small Pharmacies Scheme would not be excluded from exit payments. Any ESPS contractors wishing to relinquish their contracts need to give primary care trusts three months’ notice.
