GP Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (GP CPCS)

From 1st November 2020, the CPCS was extended across England to include referrals from general practices as well as from NHS 111.

Once preparatory work has been undertaken at a local level, GPs can refer patients to community pharmacies to receive a CPCS consultation for minor illness (unlike NHS 111, GPs cannot refer patients for an urgent supply of a medicine or appliance)

For further information please see PSNC here

or email use on admin@dorsetlpc.org.uk if you have any enquires around GP CPCS.
