@pharmthorrun Thanks @pharmthorrun, appreciate it.

@leelabarham Not where it needs to be but a welcome support for patients and recognition of the value of pharmacists and their teams.

Did you know that the English CPCS is now 4? I'm doing a piece for @p3pharmacy to take stock of referral numbers and to find out just what makes it work in the real world. Have you made it work? Willing to share how? Get in touch! leels@btinternet.com #communitypharmacy #CPCS

Do you receive the Healthcare leader's update from NHSE? Do you remember seeing mention of the prepayment certificate in one in the last couple of months? I don't have a copy anymore (too keen to manage my overburdened inbox!) & NHSE won't share. Got a copy please X'ers? 🙏

HealthWatch England has highlighted issues for some people with their prepayment certificates. How much should - and realistically can - community pharmacies do to help people as they face cost of living issues? Get in touch to inform a piece for @p3pharmacy #communitypharmacy

Have you seen a new position paper on VPAS from @Britishgenerics? 👉 britishgenerics.co.uk/uploads/BGMA-V… What do you make of their ideas? Get in touch to inform a piece for Pink Sheet. leels@btinternet.com #pharmaceuticals #VPAS

Have you seen a new report on VPAS from LSE, University of York and LSHTM? 👉 lse.ac.uk/News/Latest-ne… I am keen to hear reactions to the report for a Pink Sheet piece; love it, hate it or something in between? Get in touch! leels@btinternet.com #pharmaceuticals #VPAS

PSNC's 2023 pharmacy pressures survey suggested 7% of community pharmacies are profitable, the best for the rest is breakeven. What does that mean for investment for the future? I'm doing a piece for @p3pharmacy. Get in touch! leels@btinternet.com

And the answer is, a big one! See the piece now out in InVivo 👉 (£paywall) invivo.pharmaintelligence.informa.com/IV147734/What-…? Thanks to everyone, including @little_emmabird, for their contributions.

Deals - PAS, Outcome-based Payment, CED, etc - call them what you will - between payers and pharmaceutical companies are not new, nor rare. But what role - if any - should patient groups play? I'm doing a piece for InVivo. Got a view to share? Get in touch! leels@btinternet.com

Turns out it's hard to find out just what is happening on the ground on these pilots for high street pharmacies to spot cancers (I really tried!). Does NHSE have something to hide, or in fact, nothing to hide? See the published piece: flipsnack.com/ciglondon/p306…

Calling staff in community pharmacies in England involved in the pilot to spot signs of cancer! It's been almost a year since NHSE announced this important work 👉 lnkd.in/e46G55rS Tell me about your experience for @p3pharmacy Get in touch: leels@btinternet.com

@little_emmabird @Mike_Thorpe_ @CRUK_Policy Thanks @little_emmabird have DM'd you.

@leelabarham Me and @Mike_Thorpe_ were the patient reps on the @CRUK_Policy outcomes based pricing initiative research piece... I'm happy to chat about it. 👍
