This PSNC Briefing provides information for general practice teams on the changes to the community pharmacy contract in 2021/22, including the revised Pharmacy Quality Scheme.

Contractors may want to consider using the Briefing to aid local discussions with their GP practices on the changes to the contract and why additional referrals may be made to their practices. Pharmacy PCN Leads may find the Briefing useful as a tool to engage with their PCN Clinical Director and LPCs may also want to consider sharing it with Local Medical Committees to aid discussions on collaborative working between pharmacy and general practice teams.
