THE Pharmaceutical Services
Negotiating Committee (PSNC)
has recommended to the UK
government that pharmacists be
empowered to dispense urgent
medicine supplies routinely to
patients out of hours without the
need for a prescription from a
GP, reports The Pharmaceutical

NHS millions of pounds and prevent
the need for planned government
cuts of £170m from the community
pharmacy budget.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 29 Apr 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 29 Apr 16
