What is the CPCS?
This is a national advanced service commissioned by NHS England. The CPCS enables practice staff / care navigators or NHS 111 call advisors to make a digital referral to a pharmacy where the patient will receive advice and treatment for a range of minor illnesses.
A toolkit for practices and PCNs is available here NHS England » NHS community pharmacist consultation service toolkit for GP PCN staff
