The ICB has been supporting the implementation of the Pharmacy First Service which launched on 31st January this year. In lieu of a GP toolkit, which is in development by NHS England, they have adapted a slide pack that may help support practices to better understand the Pharmacy First service and how to continue/begin to make referrals into community pharmacy.
