Dear Contractor,
CPNI previously facilitated the establishment of Contractor WhatsApp Groups to help support communication and to encourage engagement on key community pharmacy topics, at a local level.
Contractors who haven’t had the opportunity to join the WhatsApp groups relevant to their pharmacy(ies) are invited to do so by clicking the link(s) below which are applicable to the area(s).
Please note that these groups are open to contractors only or a nominated staff member. It will be for contractors to decide who they share the joining link with.
Existing groups will continue to facilitate day-to-day pharmacy business related discussions.
We would ask you to please state your name, pharmacy and role when joining the group.
McLernons have indicated that they offer a free remote cyber security assessment which will help identify any vulnerabilities that exist in contractor systems, with a view to layering up security in respect of handling of patient data (email itsecurity@mclernons.com). For contractors using alternative PMR suppliers, please contact them for advice on security assessments.
Please bring this to the attention of your pharmacy team(s).
Kind regards
