For the winter months I can provide a flu vaccine to an eligible patient and send a summary of the consultation to their GP with the correct code to input into the patient’s record. In 22/23 season there have been more than 160,000 NHS flu vaccines administered by community pharmacy. I no longer have to have stacks of paperwork to send to various GP surgeries, now it is all done via Choose Pharmacy.
In the summer months, have you come on holiday and forgotten to bring your medication? No problem! I can access your GP records (if you are registered in Wales) and check your medication, and if appropriate give you an emergency supply.
Choose Pharmacy is helping the community pharmacy teams to show it’s not just sticking a label on a box.
