The NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) is a national Advanced Service to refer patients requiring low acuity advice, treatment and urgent repeat prescriptions to community pharmacies.
The service aims to reduce pressure on the primary and urgent care system, particularly Accident and Emergency and GP out of hours. The service will support the integration of community pharmacy into the urgent care system.
We have teamed up with Evans Pharmacy in East Leake and Ruddington and we may refer you to them if we think this is more appropriate than a GP or Nurse appointment. Many Pharmacists are now trained to treat minor ailments and they can offer you advice and write a prescription if needed.
