The survey is open to ALL pharmacy team members and closes on 18th October 2025.

Please share this opportunity with all staff and locums. Your input is appreciated!

NEW Pharmacy Technician Webpage

We now have a dedicated webpage for Pharmacy Technicians.
This space is designed both to help contractors understand the offers and development opportunities available and to provide support for Pharmacy Technicians directly.

If you have any feedback on the page or have ideas for content, please email info@cpns.org.uk

SNEE Repeat Prescribing Toolkit

Community Pharmacies across Suffolk and North East Essex have just ONE WEEK REMAINING to take part in a new initiative aimed at improving the repeat prescribing process.

 As part of an ICB-supported scheme, pharmacies can complete a self-assessment to help identify areas of good practice and potential challenges, with a £100 payment available upon submission. While participation is voluntary, the initiative encourages collaboration with local GP practices and aims to support safer, more efficient systems that benefit both patients and healthcare providers.

Full details of the initiative, and all supporting documents, can be found here.

BBC Radio Interview
