Early May Bank Holiday – HSCB Request
for pharmacies to Complete a survey to assess the level of planned Commercial
Opening by Pharmacies on Friday 8th May’20
As you are aware the Early May Bank
Holiday is on Friday 8th May’20 and community pharmacies are
entitled to close that day.
HSCB has confirmed that GP surgeries
will not be open on that day and that HSCB are making provisions for Community
Pharmacy opening on 8th May based on the Pharmacy Bank Holiday Rota
arrangements.
In order for the HSCB to find out which pharmacies (in addition to the 8th
May Rota pharmacies) intend to open on Friday 8th May you are asked to complete the survey, for each
pharmacy that you operate, at the link below:-
In order to facilitate returns by multiple pharmacy groups HSCB
propose to issue a spreadsheet directly to Multiples to aid a composite
response, rather than each individual branch having to respond.
Should you require any additional information please do not
hesitate to contact the local HSCB office relevant to you, from the listing
below.

Dear Colleagues,
Reminder – Requirement for all Pharmacies to Complete Daily HSC
SitReps
Thank you to the pharmacy teams who have been completing the
HSCB Situation Reports (SitReps) and submitting them to HSCB on a daily basis.
It is important that all pharmacies do this on a daily basis and I would ask that you ensure your pharmacy staff complete this task. It may be useful to set a reminder on the PMR or on your phone. The purpose of the SitReps is to ascertain the daily status of all community pharmacies during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is reported to the highest level within the Department of Health.

Dear Colleague,
Reminder for All pharmacies
to i) complete the online HSC SitRep reports daily & ii)
ensure the HSC secure email facility is operational within your pharmacy(-ies)
Further to Contractor Update #43 I write in relation to
the two above mentioned HSCB requirements on all Community Pharmacies during
COVID19.
1: SitRep Reports
Thank you to the pharmacy teams who have been completing the
HSCB Situation Reports (SitReps) and submitting them to HSCB on a daily basis.
It is important that all pharmacies do this on a daily basis and I would ask that you ensure your pharmacy staff carry out this requirement daily. The purpose of the SitReps is to ascertain the daily status of all community pharmacies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Can I also remind all pharmacies that secure email is now
operational and HSCB are encouraging all pharmacies to use this method of
communication, which is particularly crucial at this time. If you are
experiencing any difficulties with this please contact Sean Woods Sean.Woods@hscni.net
