Dear Contractor,
In recognising that the FTY programme in 2025/2026 includes a number of significant changes, CPNI has developed a welcome letter which contractors involved in the programme may wish to share with their trainee. A copy of the letter is available here. A space is included to allow community pharmacy employers to add a signature.
The letter provides trainees with links to information on the additional services offered in many community pharmacies, and outlines the vision for enhanced clinical service provision in the future.
Should contractors have any questions in relation to the letter or the FTY training programme please get in touch with Ennis.
Kind regards,
SENT ON BEHALF OF GERARD GREENE Chief Executive
Dear Contractor,
This is a reminder that the Community Pharmacy Daily Interventions Survey is underway.
The purpose of this survey is to capture the breadth of non-commissioned activity in community pharmacies, including patient presentations, referrals, advice provided, and phone call consultations. The evidence gathered will demonstrate the vital contribution of community pharmacy teams, highlight unmet needs, and support future funding and service development discussions.
Your participation is essential to ensure this survey reflects the reality of practice and the pressures faced by contractors and their teams. If your pharmacy has not yet started, you can begin the survey today and run it for a period of one week. Please ensure that intervention logs are completed daily throughout the survey week and collated into the master form (pdf here or excel here) for submission.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to showcasing the value of community pharmacy.
Kind regards,
SENT ON BEHALF OF GERARD GREENE Chief Executive
