NHS Community Pharmacy
Loading branch profile…
A smaller-volume dispensary in Northamptonshire ICB — below the 25th percentile of peers. Runs 4 of the 6 advanced services. Claimed 3 Pharmacy Quality Scheme domains in 2023/24. Administered 216 flu doses in the most recent season. Owned by Boots UK Limited, a group with 1,319 NHS branches in England.
Estimate derived from published NHS fee rates: £2.85/item (SAF + professional fee), £28/NMS, £35/DMS, £17/Pharmacy First, £15/BP check, £18/contraception consultation; flu uses actual £ fees published per dose. Category M reimbursement, establishment payment, transitional payment, PQS banding and the £1,000 Pharmacy First monthly fixed fee are all excluded. Private and locally-commissioned income is not included.
A single engagement score combining NMS, Pharmacy First, BP checks, DMS, contraception and flu — each normalised against the branch’s own dispensing volume, so scale is stripped out. A score at the 72nd percentile reads as “delivers more advanced-service activity per item dispensed than 72% of reporting pharmacies”.
