IMPORTANT UPDATE: Change to August Pharmacy First monthly threshold

The consultation thresholds for the monthly Pharmacy First payment has been a topic of concern for pharmacy owners and Community Pharmacy England, particularly as the August increase to 20 clinical pathways approached.

Community Pharmacy England has been discussing this issue over the last few weeks with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England and Ministers have now decided that they intend to adjust the August threshold for the Pharmacy First service to 15 in the light of the concerns that was raised.
