Documentation
Description:
The purpose of the standard is to support the expanding use of community pharmacies and pharmacists providing services as part of the NHS, which in England are under the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF). The standard will provide consistency in recording information which can be shared with other parts of the health and care system and support a more integrated overall care system. It will support people by integrating information about their care from all parts of the system including community pharmacy.
The standard defines:
- the information that should be recorded in a community pharmacy
- the information which should be sent to the person’s general practice about the services provided to be added to their primary care record and potentially with shared care records
