Local NHS leaders invited to bid for additional funding to run pharmacist prescribing pilots

摘要

NHS England has broken ground on the much-anticipated community pharmacy independent prescribing pilots, inviting local integrated care leaders to submit expressions of interest for additional funding. Emails sent this week to pharmacy leaders, and seen by The Pharmaceutical Journal, reveal that integrated care system (ICS) leaders have been asked “to submit an expression of interest that is supported by their integrated care board (ICB)” to join the ‘pathfinder’ programme from 12:00 on 16 January 2023 to 00:00 on 28 February 2023.
