Advanced Services

These are optional services that pharmacies can choose to provide. They are nationally set and specified, and the option to provide them is open to all community pharmacies, provided they meet certain minimum requirements. There are currently nine Advanced Services within the NHS Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF).

The advanced services currently commissioned through the contract framework include Flu vaccination, the New Medicine Service (which aims to help patients understand and make best use of a newly prescribed medicine), and Pharmacy First.
