COVID-19 Costs: Latest workshop now on-demand

PSNC’s final COVID-19 Cost Claims Workshop for community pharmacy contractors is now available to watch on-demand.

Feedback on the final COVID-19 Cost Claims Workshop

“Short, focused and effective.”

“Well conducted with good examples of what to do.”

“Thank you for explaining everything clearly and succinctly. I feel more confident about filling in the claim form.”

Over 350 contractors watched last night’s live online event about claiming for the extra costs they incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 96% of attendees found it useful, with almost 90% saying they would recommend it to others.

Contractors have until 15th August 2021 to claim for their pandemic-related costs using an agreed claim form provided by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA).

During yesterday’s online workshop PSNC’s CEO and Director of Pharmacy Funding explained the deal reached with HM Government, described the NHSBSA claiming process, and worked through some examples.

Given the time between the two events, this webinar was able to include a little more detail about how the process applies in specific scenarios and contractors had the chance to ask questions again. It also includes subtitles to make it easier to follow.
