Important message from PSD Scotland

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a GPhC-registered Pharmacist to join N.S Wilson Ltd, an established independent community pharmacy serving the local community in Insch, Aberdeenshire.

Balintore Pharmacy is looking for a Pharmacist Manager who wants more than ticking boxes and checking scripts.

As part of our policy work, we are keen to understand more about you and your patients' experiences of the newly-established GP Walk-in centre pilot sites across the country, and how these fit in with services like Pharmacy First.

A weekly snapshot of CPS activity including policy work, digital developments and stakeholder engagement across community pharmacy.

The top question for this week is around the eligibility of patients to receive the service.

Adam from our policy team has been seconded to the DPDP programme, which aims to move Scotland away from paper prescriptions

This Circular advises Health Boards and community pharmacy contractors that the UK-wide Serious Shortage Protocol (SSP) for ramipril 1.25mg capsules remains in place following an extension to its expiry date.
