Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS)

The CPCS was launched by NHS England on the 29 October 2019, to facilitate patients having a same day appointment with their community pharmacist for minor illness or an urgent supply of a regular medicine, improving access to services and providing more convenient treatment closer to patients’ homes.

The service is helping to alleviate pressure on GP appointments and emergency departments, in addition to harnessing the skills and medicines knowledge of pharmacists.

You may find upon contacting us, that the clinician recommends you are referred to the Pharmacist. These referrals will only be made where a clinician has triaged your ailment and feels this is the fastest and most appropriate pathway for you.
