Written by AlisonFreemantle on Thursday 6th April 2023

Technicians can now deliver the hypertension case finding service and smoking cessation service

The Drug Tariff has been amended to reflect this update and includes the amendments to The Pharmaceutical Services (Advanced and Enhanced Services) (Amendment) (England) Directions 2023.

The service specifications for both services are currently going through NHS England’s publication process; when these are published PSNC will alert pharmacies through their normal communication channels.
