- 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 prescribing in community pharmacies, and stakeholders’ views on the value, enablers and potential barriers to expanding prescribing services across community pharmacy.
- You can take part if you are:
- a community pharmacist
- a GP, nurse prescriber or other clinical prescriber in primary or urgent care
- someone who works in NHS commissioning, planning or service design
- By taking part, you will be contributing to an evidence base that the NPA will use to inform their work to increase the scope and scale of independent prescribing within community pharmacy.
- Thiscovery will write up a comprehensive insight for the NPA, who plan to share key insights at their June 2026 conference and on their website. Thiscovery can also email you a summary of the findings if you consent to this at the end of the survey (within 6 months).
- 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.
