The General Practice Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (GP CPCS) was piloted and launched in Manchester in late 2020.

It’s a pathway that general practices use to refer patients with minor illness or low acuity conditions to a community pharmacist.

In this episode we find out how it’s been going since it was launched and offer advice to any practices thinking of getting involved.

Our host for this episode is Dr Joanna Bircher, GP in Stalybridge and Clinical Director, GP Excellence programme.

Her guests are Luvjit Kandula, Director of Pharmacy Transformation for Great Manchester and Local Pharmaceutical Committee, Courtney Kenworthy, Lead Administrator for Hollywood Medical Practice in Oldham and Russell Nolan, Community Pharmacist working in Oldham and out of St Chad's.

This is recording of a webinar that took place in July 2022
