Pharmacy Quality Scheme 2020/21 Part 1

Following the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Community Pharmacy England agreed the requirements for a new Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS) for 2020/21 with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England and NHS Improvement.

The scheme had two parts, the first of which was announced on 13th July 2020. The focus of the Part 1 scheme was ensuring community pharmacy contractors and their teams had put in place all reasonable measures to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, protecting both themselves and the people using their services.

The scheme was also a Gateway requirement for the Part 2 scheme.
