NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I) has issued a letter to provide advice on ordering appropriate flu vaccines for the 2020/21 season.

This follows a review of the latest evidence on influenza vaccines conducted by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

Community pharmacy contractors are advised to begin ordering licensed vaccines as set out in the letter; ordering of these licensed vaccines should not be unnecessarily delayed.

PQS - One Month until the declaration opens

7/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
As we start the new year we would like to remind pharmacies that ther is now one month to go before the window opens for community pharmacy contractors to make a declaration for a Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS) payment.

Contractors must use the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) Manage Your Service portal to make their PQS declaration between 9am on 3rd February 2020 and 11.59pm on 28th February 2020.
​
Many pharmacy teams are well on their way to meeting the gateway criteria and some if not all the domains for the PQS.

Contractors are, however, reminded of the following resources:
  • PSNC Briefing 059/19: Pharmacy Quality Scheme – PSNC resources – this highlights all the resources available from PSNC to assist contractors with meeting the gateway criteria and domains.
 
  • NHSBSA declaration data (under 'PQS datasets') – this is available to download on a weekly basis to check whether the national datasets show your pharmacy has met three out of the four gateway criteria.
Further information is available at: ow.ly/tfMT50xMdx9

Additionally, the team at PSNC has received a number of queries on PQS and has compiled the answers to those asked in recent weeks. Read them now: ow.ly/VYRa50xJLM5
