National Drivers
Five Year Forward View
•Investing in building the public’s understanding that pharmacies can help them deal with coughs, colds and other minor ailments
Community Pharmacy Manifesto
• 5 pledges• Encourage patients
to think ‘pharmacy first’, and use pharmacy to help relieve pressure on GPs and emergency departments
Community Pharmacy- helping provide better
quality and resilient urgent care -NHSE
• Better integrate pharmacy into the urgent and emergency care system
• self-management of minor ailments
JSNA
• There is currently one pharmacy for every 3,402 residents, which compares extremely favourably to the national average of one pharmacy for every 5,000 resident population.
The cost of treating a patient with a minor ailment in an A&E department isa) Twice as high
b) 3.5 times as highc) 5 times as high
than the cost of treating the patient in a pharmacy
Statistics…
The cost of treating a patient with a minor ailment in an A&E department is
five times higher than the cost of treating the patient in a pharmacy
Coughs and sore throats cost the NHS an extra £1.1 billion a year when patients are treated in Emergency Departments or
GP surgeries(source: RPS)
Patient experience is high on the agenda nationally and locally
Further Context
• Nigel Mathers, the honorary secretary of the Royal College of General Practitioners:
‘“sensible” that community pharmacists, and not over-stretched GPs, should be the first port of call for common ailments.
Such a move .. would take pressure off the demand for a GP appointment and leave more time for doctors to deal with more complex consultations’
Future Travel…
• National Minor Ailment Service – much discussion…
• National exploration of co-commissioning of community pharmacy services:
potential for future years
• RCGP / RPS collaboration
• RPS video – Minor Ailments
