NHS Community Pharmacy Consultation Service - (CPCS) – for treatment of minor illnesses

The NHS Community Pharmacy Consultation Service (CPCS) is an NHS England initiative providing more convenient treatment closer to patients’ homes.

Lots of conditions are more appropriate for a consultation with a Community Pharmacist, rather than a GP.  Our Receptionists will discuss your symptoms and, if appropriate, send you for a same day appointment with an NHS Community Pharmacist for a personal consultation.  You will have a choice over which pharmacy you are referred to.

Community Pharmacists are highly trained healthcare professionals with 5 years training and spend a high percentage of their time helping patients with minor illness

Update on the national planned extraction of data from patient records for planning and research.

Many patients have expressed concern over the extraction of data by NHS Digital. A new system was scheduled to take place on the 1st September but has now been postponed without a date being set for when it will take place. This is to allow NHS England and the government to make changes in the light of concerns that have been expressed and to engage with patients and doctors.

This information is important to the country and has been used to plan the response to the Covid 19 pandemic, including the vaccine roll-out and to understand how to support patients suffering from ‘long Covid’.

However, the new data extraction will only now take place, when;

  • You, as a patients have the means to delete your data from a data upload, even after a data collection has taken place. You will be also able to opt-out from any future collections. The way that you will do this is being made more simple.
  • The present back-log of opt-outs expressed by patients, whether at practice level or on-line ( with NHS Digital) have been cleared.
  • A “Trusted Research Environment” has been developed and implemented within NHS Digital itself.

 

This mean that the data collected will only be accessed within this environment and that it will not be able to be copied or transported outside of the environment. Data can only be copied and transferred outside of this secure environment, if you, as a patient have given your explicit consent; e.g. for a specific research study.

NHS Digital promises that:

  • The data extraction will continue to be both pseudonymised, i.e. the data identifyingyou as you does not reach NHS Digital and will be encrypted by GP System suppliers.
  • Wants to improve its communications:
    1. By continuing to listen to patients and other stakeholders,
    2. Will consult via series of events that aim to explain the programme and engage in co-design with stakeholders as to how the programme will move forward.
    3. Will demonstrate howpublic feedback is being used to shape how the data is collected and how the data informs research and planning across the NHS

Jo Churchill, the under-secretary of State for Primary Care promises that:

“Once the data is collected, it will only be used for the purposes of improving health and care. Patient data is not for sale and never will be for sale.”

Please wear a mask if visiting the surgery - and don't walk into the surgery for any reason without an appointment

In line with current Government guidance patients are required to continue to wear a face covering in all healthcare settings.

Face coverings primarily protect others, so doing so – unless exempt – is key to preventing spread of infection.

Test and isolate if you have any symptoms

If you have symptoms you must get a PCR test as soon as possible & before visiting your GP. Rapid lateral flow tests should not be used to confirm infection.

It’s vital that you and anyone in your household isolate until you receive your test result, and for 10 days thereafter if the result is positive.

 

Do not walk into the surgery for any reason

Only contact the surgery by phone, e-mail or using the online appointment system. This is for your safety due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic. Thank you.
