The NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS) is a national Advanced Service to refer patients requiring low acuity advice, treatment and urgent repeat prescriptions to community pharmacies.
The scheme works by giving patients the option to visit their pharmacist to receive advice and treatment for certain minor illnesses, instead of having to make an appointment to see their GP on a range of minor health.
