Committee Topics
MC gave a presentation to members about NHS England’s Call to Action on Community Pharmacy. There are four events arranged across the CPCW footprint and contractors should be encouraged to attend one of the events and respond individually to the consultation. The events have been publicised through the AT weekly bulletin and are on the LPC website. The engagement event taking place in Wirral is on 26 February. AJW will circulate the consultation document to all LPC members – members will respond in advance of the February LPC meeting so that a ‘draft’ LPC response can be pre-circulated for ratification. It is important for community pharmacy as a whole that responses are submitted to this consultation; the LPC will respond to the consultation by 18 March. This successful event, which proved to be a good networking opportunity with commissioners, was well attended. Presenters have reported back that they were pleased with the interactions with attendees as part of the market stall session. MC thanked LPC members for doing a ring round to chase attendees. It was apparent on the evening that not all contractors had received the electronic copy of the contract which was emailed by Public Health on 6 January. AJW is undertaking a piece a work to collate an accurate database of contractor email addresses which can then be shared with stakeholders as appropriate. It was recognised that effective and efficient communication needs to form part of the CPCW Business Plan going forward. MC had a useful meeting with CWP and the commissioner. Activity levels were reported and engagement varied from very high to zero; MC reminded the committee that the AT can issue breach notices if contractors are not engaging with a directed campaign, which this was.

The audit will be published and shared with the AT, PH and LPC. This meeting resulted in a greater understanding about why there were some problems which affected lead times, training, distribution of materials, etc. CWP will share further information with MC who will take any necessary action to help resolve any problems going forward. CWP are looking to run this campaign next year, however, the decision will be up to the AT who will be conducting directed campaigns through CHAMPS. The Dry January campaign is currently running across Cheshire and Mersey. Some members reported problems with an inability of ordering more than 1 copy of the show material. MC will feed back. MC is working with CHAMPS on a new PGD for EHC across Cheshire and Mersey; the next meeting is planned for 28 January. v. EHC Consent Form Sexual Health Engagement This form is now part of the service specification and gives pharmacies the ability to fast track patients into the sexual health service. MC has received a draft copy of section 1 of the PNA; MC will circulate the draft to members who should let her have any comments back by close of play on Monday 20 January. i. Pharmacist Questionnaire (pre-circulated) This will be sent out to the updated email list identified in item 5bi above. A number of points were discussed, including an amendment to section 2.3 (commissioned services) with a suggestion that the list should only include the services currently provided within the footprint. MC shared the draft press release and a number of amendments were suggested. MC will feed these back. iii. Patient Survey Monkey (link pre-circulated) Members should follow the link and feedback any issues to MC. Roll out continues and 24 out of 51 practices will be completed by end of January. Processes are being tightened up to allow roll out pan Cheshire, Warrington and Wirral. There are a number of IT schemes and upgrades that the practices have to engage in over the next few months and EPS will have to fit around this work. The CSU has appointed a dedicated person to plan the dates for the different projects across the whole footprint. Wirral practices will be going to fortnightly go-lives (previously weekly) to allow the project manager to work in different areas. MC is awaiting the most up to date spreadsheet which will detail the next 3 months of roll out. It is important that pharmacies continue to attend business change sessions. AW/MC attended a quarterly meeting with LRC colleagues; they have written to Phil Davies, Chairman of the HWB to request an LRC representative on the board; Phil has responded that it will be discussed at the next committee meeting. AW has explained to LRC colleagues that Wirral LPC will be merging with Cheshire LPC from 1 April 2014 and reassured them that relationships and links would remain as strong. Page 3 of 5
The group discussed a CCG document – Vision 2018 - which the LRC’s will be consulted on. CF questioned the increase in the number of contractors opening on bank holidays – is an audit conducted regarding value for money of rota services. The AT has a responsibility to ensure that patients are able to access a pharmacy on a bank holiday. MC will feed this question back to the Contracts Group. A document from CCA was pre-circulated; this will be used as appropriate. A member highlighted a number of concerns regarding Pregabalin and Gabapentin. The examples shared should be escalated to the Local Intelligence Network and Kieron Murphy and also copied to the LMC. MC/WC will work together. Next meeting will be held on Tuesday 11 February 2014.
