NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board · All their open notices
What this is
NHS South Yorkshire ICB is seeking bids from community pharmacy contractors to provide a community pharmacy-led COVID-19 triage, assessment and prescribing service for the highest-risk patients. Following NHS England direction that COVID antivirals should be available in community settings, the service shifts provision from secondary care to community pharmacy. The current NICE-recommended treatments retain a RED traffic-light status, meaning prescribing is recommended only by services with specialist knowledge, so contractors are expected to develop their workforce to gain this expertise.
