The patients NHS number and GP details can also be confirmed at this stage if needed If NHS111 has not made a referral, the pharmacy may still choose to provide an emergency supply at the request of the patient, however, this supply is not included in the Service Specification and thus cannot be claimed via the service If the patient does not call then the pharmacist must make every reasonable attempt to contact the patient using the contact details provided in the referral this should be done before the next working day o Reasonable is considered to be at least three attempts to contact the patient, with at least 10 minutes between each attempt If the patient does not contact the pharmacy, the Consultation and Administration fee may still be claimed if at least three attempts are made to contact the patient
4 2) Telephone call between the patient and pharmacist An interview with the patient should be conducted over the phone in order to assess their suitability for the service Stock availability should be confirmed before agreeing to make a supply to the patient P The pharmacist will interview the patient to assess the patients suitability for an emergency supply in accordance with HMR 2012 further information refer to the NPA Emergency supply of prescription-only medicines factsheets The pharmacist can also use this opportunity to check if the pharmacy has the required items in stock If the patient request does not meet the requirements of the HMR 2012 then they should be referred to their own GP or the local out-of-hours (OOHs) service; patients should not be referred back to NHS 111 Contact details of GP OOHs and NHS 111 health professionals line can be found in the NHS 111 Mobile Directory of Services (DoS) or MiDoS (pharmacies will be alerted to which contact method to use during the service set up) If a prescription has been recently issued it may be available on the NHS Spine if this is the case then it should be used to supply the patient with the required medication o The pharmacy will still be able to claim for the Consultation and Administration fees if the supply is made in this way. The Supply fee cannot be claimed as the EPS prescription will be used for the medication supply P If the supply cannot be made then the pharmacist should refer the patient to another participating pharmacy that has the requested medication in stock this should be agreed with the patient first NHS 111 Mobile DoS should be used to locate a participating pharmacy and the pharmacist should make contact with the other pharmacy to confirm that the stock is available The referral received from NHS 111 should then be forwarded to the second pharmacy if the second pharmacy has the items in stock. The second pharmacy would then make contact with the patient and follow the process as set out in the Service Specification If this occurs, the contractor who originally received the referral can still claim for the Consultation and Administration fees
5 If available, the patients Summary Care Record (SCR) should be accessed to assess suitability for the service 3) Pharmacy consultation Following the telephone consultation, the pharmacist should advise the patient to attend for a face-to-face consultation this is important to collect any missing information that was not recorded in the referral and to also assess whether the supply meets the legal requirements of an emergency supply 4) Supply If the patient meets all the criteria for the service, a supply can be made the pharmacist should make a professional decision as to the quantity to supply to the patient NHS 111 must also be notified of this onward referral by the original pharmacy If the second pharmacy also do not have the items in stock then the original pharmacy who received the referral should contact the GP OOHs service to explore other options the patient may need to be referred to another healthcare professional P Although SCR is not mandatory to providing the service, it can be used to assess whether the supply of medicine is appropriate for the patient, for example, by having sight of the patients prescription history to see if the item has been prescribed previously Consent should be obtained before accessing the SCR Guidance on SCR is available from the NPA website P If the patient cannot attend, the pharmacist should use their professional judgement to decide if the supply can be made to the patients representative The EPS tracker should be checked to see if there is a prescription available for the requested medication o If there is a prescription available then it should be used to meet the patient supply o If an EPS prescription is used, then the Consultation and Administration fees associated with the service can still be claimed. The Supply fee cannot be claimed as the EPS prescription will be used for the medication supply If a supply cannot be made at this stage, then the patient should be referred to an appropriate healthcare professional P The quantity supplied should meet the criteria of the HMR 2012 the HMR 2012 refers to emergency requirements relating to prescription-only medicines (POMs), however, for the purposes of the NUMSAS service, this includes medicines and appliances that are not POMs The record of supply and labelling requirements as stipulated in the HMR 2012 must be maintained
6 Once the supply has been made, a prescription charge should be taken for each item supplied unless the patient is exempt from prescription charges If the patient/representative is unable to attend, the pharmacist must discuss all reasonable options with the patient in order for them to receive their medicines in a timely manner 5) Advice and information The patient/patients representative should be asked to complete a patient questionnaire following the consultation The pharmacist should emphasise the importance of ordering prescriptions on time and the benefits of electronic repeat dispensing 6) Records and documentation Document referral using blank FP10DT EPS dispensing token even if a supply has not been made P/PT P P The questionnaire can be either paper based or available using an IT platform (yet to be released) If paper based questionnaires are used, the information should be transferred to the IT platform to submit patient responses The patient questionnaire is available in Annex D of the Service Specification Guidance on how to submit patient questionnaires will be available shortly P Although this service is aimed at supporting patient who have run out of their medicines, it is also an opportune time to counsel patients on the importance of changing their prescription ordering habits to ensure they never run out of their medicines in the future The pharmacist may also use this opportunity to raise the patients awareness of the Medicines Use Review (MUR) and Appliance Use Review (AUR) services if appropriate P The following information should be recorded on each form (available from the NHS 111 referral or the Dictionary of Medicines and Devices: o Full name, address and date of birth of patient o Patient s NHS Number o Name, strength and form of medicines requested or name of appliance requested o Either the quantity supplied or the reason for not supplying (using the standard code set out in Annex E of the Service Specification)
