Picture
Following the recent MHRA warning around the use of  Simvastatin 40mg in conjunction with with other medicines. 

The medicines management team of  NHS South of Tyne & Wear have spoken to the MHRA and as far as the MHRA are concerned this isn't an urgent action and can be left till the patients next review. 

The medicines management team have now published an alert and Pharmacies should make thems elves aware of the contents.

GP's will be made aware of this via practice pharmacists and don't really need us ringing to change every patient asap.

For further information about this please contact  Anne-Marie Bailey (0191-529 7214)  at medicines management.

Pharmabase - Submission Date

20/9/2012

0 Comments

 
The PCT has had a few minor problems with pharmabase and payments.  They would like pharmacists to know that their submitted information/forms needs to be entered before the 4th of the month otherwise the pharmacist will not get payment until the following month.

Pharmabase runs the information early on the morning of the 5th of the month so that is why information needs to be uploaded by the 4th.

Also when some pharmacies are contacting the help desk they are still being told that they need to print off the claim form and send or email to the commissioner. This is not the case as we are using option 2 and the commissioner can access the claim forms and audits via the internet.   For further information please contact Moira Richardson (Commissioner Officer - Public Health) (Tel: 0191 4971526  Mob: 07827309472)

During October, thousands of people across England are taking part in Stoptober - a new, exciting 28 day challenge to stop smoking.


Pharmacies will be taking part and great places to help people to give up smoking and meet the 28 day challenge.  
Marketing material should have been received already for promotion of the Stopober campaign.  The team at the PCT would also like to point out that they have got a pop up stand and an event stand that is available for people to use during the campaign. (the banner is double sided and is quite large (2m high x 84cm)

 If you are interested in using these please contact  Natalie Goodman  (0191 433 2421 )
