The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) has published the latest figures for NHS Pharmacy First clinical pathways between February and August 2024.
This data has been released in our new dedicated NHS Pharmacy First Clinical Pathways Data webpage, which will be updated monthly with the latest data.
The webpage provides data for:
- claimed consultations and the number of community pharmacies claiming for NHS Pharmacy First Service
- consultations per clinical pathway for each month
- cumulative clinical pathway consultations by month
- percentage of consultations where medicine was supplied per clinical pathway, by month
The NHS Pharmacy First service, which launched on 31 January 2024, allows community pharmacies to offer advice to patients and supply NHS medicines (where clinically appropriate) to treat seven common health conditions without a prescription from a GP.
