Earlier this year, Emma Williams, the Clinical Lead for Choose Pharmacy at NHS Wales Informatics Service, gave a presentation on the Choose Pharmacy application at the Celtic Conference in Edinburgh.
Subsequently, members of the Community Pharmacy team from Northern Ireland expressed their interest in the application and wanted the opportunity to find out more. Similarly to Wales, Northern Ireland have a Minor Ailments Scheme (MAS) for pharmacy in place, however, it is currently paper-based and they are looking to develop this in to a digital service.
The Choose Pharmacy team invited Northern Ireland colleagues to the Cardiff office to showcase the application and give an overview of the service.
