Sharing your views on prescribing in community pharmacy

Help the NPA understand current experiences, opportunities and barriers around prescribing in community pharmacy. Earn a CPD certificate for your time.

  • Community pharmacists can now prescribe medicines directly, without patients needing to see a GP first. The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) wants to understand current practice and commissioning of independent prescribing in community pharmacies, and your views on the expansion of this service.
  • You can take part if you are:
    • A community pharmacist with or without a prescribing qualification
    • A GP, nurse prescriber or other clinician who can prescribe in primary or urgent care
    • A Practice, PCN, Neighbourhood or Local Area Manager without commissioning responsibilities
    • A NHS commissioner, planner, or service designer
  • By taking part, you will help shape how independent prescribing is expanded. You can opt in to receive the findings at the end of the survey.
  • This survey takes about 15 minutes to complete.
  • You can take breaks: Your answers are saved as you go. If you need to stop, use the same device and browser to carry on later.
  • Your information is safe: We keep all your answers private and secure. How we protect your information.
