Some 353,000 patients have been referred to community pharmacies through the Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) since its launch in October 2019, NHS England has said. This includes 340,000 referrals from NHS 111 and 13,000 referrals from 280 GP practices -amounting to a total of approximately 35 referrals per pharmacy since the service began. The CPCS, which began with referrals from NHS 111, later expanded to include GP referrals to community pharmacy from 1 November 2020, following a pilot in parts of England that began in June 2019.
