Community Pharmacy Scotland’s Website Refresh
Published: 11/03/24
As you may have noticed the Community Pharmacy Scotland’s (CPS) website has had a lick of paint since the last time you might have seen it. We have refreshed our website to bring it inline with what you, the user and our analytics say our members are using our website for.
Please Note: Our search is currently under maintenance and will be live on Wednesday 13th March 2024.

CPS’s 2021 Website
Our focus has been on:
navigation (two-click method)
accessibility
user-friendliness
providing comprehensive resources
creating easier access to information for both pharmacy professionals and our other stakeholders
creating content cataloguing and tags i.e. NHS Pharmacy First Scotland, Naloxone Service
content designed for an email first approach
social media integration i.e promote new initiatives on 𝕏, events on Facebook and even your latest vacancies on LinkedIn at the click of a button
Over the next couple of months we will be looking to develop:
mobile appearance
provide ability to have notification within your browser
contractor owner members area
associate members area
