Pharmacy contractors are reminded that the clinical governance approved particulars come into effect on 1st July. The Clinical Governance section of the PSNC website (www.psnc.org.uk/cg) contains support materials, including a link to the joint guidance issued by NHS Employers and PSNC.

As a reminder, the new and revised approved particulars are:

1. Pharmacy practice leaflet. Pharmacies are required to produce in an approved manner a practice leaflet containing certain information about the pharmacy.
