NHS Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework Service Developments WALES

Pharmacist and customer

Changes to the NHS Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) were implemented across Wales on 1 November 2011. This saw the introduction of a discharge medicine review service, targeted medicines use reviews, and changes to clinical governance requirements.

This area of the website provides you with details on key elements of the amended NHS CPCF, linking you to useful Royal Pharmaceutical Society documents and signposting to other sources of information. We will keep you informed of new developments as they emerge ensuring that you will always be up to date.

Support for Discharge Medicines Review Service

The discharge medicines review service (DMR) focuses on patients who have been recently discharged between care settings.

Support for Targeted Medicines Use Reviews

The new target MUR service will require community pharmacists to provide a proportion of MURs to patients within select groups, thus ensuring that the service is provided to those who will gain most from it.
