ACTION REQUIRED: Community Pharmacy Mandatory National Audit 2018/2019

Written by admin on Thursday 1st November 2018

This years audit is on 'Flu Vaccinations for People With Diabetes' and runs for a one-week period (or longer, until a minimum of 10 patients achieved) between 24th October and 16th December 2018


Please see the following attachment letter for Helen Wardle's guidance on what you need to do:

NHS England - South (Wessex) - Ref 478

This is a particularly useful audit that enables a measure on how well community pharmacies reach the general public and how they can effectively influence people on public health matters - in this case encouraging people with diabetes to have their flu vaccination. Lets ensure we all demonstrate exceptional behaviours by proactively engaging with all people with diabetes and then discussing the positive benefits to them, their family, friends and other associates of being vaccinated this year. It's important that this audit demonstrates the great value of community pharmacy within the overall healthcare system.


Pharmacists and Contractors are reminded that this is a compulsory element of the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) and hence MUST be completed and submitted as per NHS England instructions by midnight on 30th December 2018
