Public Health Service Posters
Published: 13/05/21
The contract for the management of Scottish Government posters in pharmacies has moved from Republic of Media (who subcontracted the work to Tactical Media) to APS Group
As a result the posters will now be mailed to each pharmacy location rather than being delivered and installed by Tactical Media.
This arrangement has been in operation since the start of March 2021.
If your poster holder requires to be replaced, please contact stockorders.DPPAS@theapsgroup.com and a replacement will be sent to you. We are currently awaiting a delivery of replacement poster holders and these will be dispatched to those who are awaiting replacement units as soon as possible.
We are aware that there are some pharmacies where the poster has not been updated as new versions have been sent out. The schedule thus far in 2021 has been:
January – Quit Your Way Scotland
February – Lung Cancer – Detect Cancer Early
March – Medicines: Care and Review
April – Organ Donation Scotland
The next poster will be with you before or during week commencing 10 May for “It’s Ok to Ask”. This poster should replace whichever version of the previous posters you still have on display. Please find attached a pdf which shows the posters issued to date and the one which will be arriving during May.
This week, CPS Policy and Development Pharmacist Gordon Winter joined BBC Radio Scotland’s Drivetime programme to discuss what the data means for community pharmacy and the wider primary care landscape.
