GoodSam App

This app (https://www.goodsamapp.org/NHS  )is now up and running and is a little bit like catching an Uber.

Basically If a patient needs help, say a delivery, they register the job on the app. The nearest volunteer picks up the job, or rejects it, and eventually a volunteer is agreed . The volunteer then calls at the pharmacy to pick up the parcel and delivers it to the patient.

The LPC is a little nervous about recommending that pharmacies initiate the help themselves for deliveries; as there are issues like accountability, insurance etc to consider...although it’s entirely up to you.

It’s probably much better to recommend that patients initiate the help for deliveries themselves.

    PCN Comms

    As a result of COVID 19 we adapted our communications strategy to use the PCN leads to cascade information.  This enabled us to act nimbly.

    This page will act as a repository of all those communications.

    Pharmacy Contractors can use this as a reference resources.

    Please note many of the communique comprised of quick messages that  will  be posted here as they were sent out.
