NMS EXTENSION SET TO DOMINATE THE AGENDA AT THIS YEAR’S PHARMACY SHOW By Ailsa Colquohon, Chief Correspondent
April 2013
Register your interest in attending the 2013 Pharmacy Show www.thepharmacyshow.co.uk/ register-interest-for-2013/
The Pharmacy Show won the event industry’s most coveted award – Best Trade Show – at the annual Exhibition News Awards on April 10th. The show’s marketing manager Lucy Pitt (Best Event Marketer) and Garry Tyson (Rising Star) also scooped awards on a glittering night for the Pharmacy Show team.
This year’s Pharmacy Show, scheduled to take place on Sunday 29th - Monday, September 30th, 2013, at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham, will provide the perfect venue for contractors to discuss the future of pharmacy medicines optimisation services, and in particular the New Medicine Service, whose future after September, 2013 remains in the balance. And, with a packed programme of clinical education and CPD also planned, this year’s show is the perfect opportunity for contractors to hone their pharmaceutical care skills. PSNC has told contractors: “A quality conversation between the patient and the pharmacist is the most important element of the [NMS] consultation. This requires a two way discussion between the patient and the pharmacist, rather than the pharmacist delivering information in a didactic manner to a passive patient.”
pharmacies in England to recruit new patients to the service up until September 30th and to receive payment for these patients even where the service is completed in October or November 2013.
Show director Matthew Butler said: “With its packed schedule of conferences and education, the Pharmacy Show looks set yet again to become the must-attend event in the pharmacy calendar. We are delighted to be playing our part as hosts to the key players and mentors in community pharmacy service delivery at this crucial time for contractors.”
PSNC says the decision to extend the NMS after September 2013 lies with the emerging NHS Commissioning Board and that this will take into account any emerging data from the Department of Health (DH) commissioned evaluation of the service. This is currently due to report in September, but may be extended to ensure that enough patients are recruited to it.
Extended funding for the community pharmacy New Medicine Service (NMS), announced by PSNC in mid-March, will allow Supported by
To fund the extension of the NMS until September, PSNC has secured a further £20 million in funding. This takes the additional contract funding secured by PSNC for the NMS to £130m since the service was first announced in 2011.
The NMS was originally commissioned until the end of March 2013 and in its first twelve months, the service was delivered to more than half a million English patients.
Sweetener deal for pharmacies as funding negotiations continue By a Pharmacy Show Correspondent New pharmacy funding arrangements effective from April 13 improve practice and advance funding payments, PSNC has said in a funding update that also reveals that that the Department of Health is considering a rethink of the current margins survey-based system. Noting the Department’s preference for a more transparent system where all NHS earnings are accounted for, PSNC warns that the revised arrangements are being considered as part of the on-going Cost of Service Inquiry update negotiations.

Continued from page 1 Analysis by PSNC of a sample of 224,000 patients receiving the NMS by October 2012 found that: • 31.9% of non-adherent patients became adherent to 31.5% of their medicines after the NMS intervention • Pharmacists gave 366,702 pieces of healthy living advice to patients while they provided the service • 54.4% of NMS interventions were provided for patients prescribed medicines for hypertension, with 26.4% asthma/COPD, 11.3% diabetes and 7.9% anticoagulants/antiplatelet medicines • Patients on asthma and COPD medicines had the lowest incidence of side-effects, but those side effects caused non-adherence at nearly twice the rate than in the other disease states • 99.6% of NMS patients were recruited directly by pharmacies, with the remainder referred by GP practices.
Cost and inconvenience influence repeat medication adherence Cost and inconvenience are making more than one in three people (36%) unhappy with their repeat prescription schedule, a prescription charge action group has concluded. Key findings from the report include: • 35% of respondents who pay for each prescription have not collected at least one item due to the cost, with three quarters of this group reporting that their health got worse as a result. 10% said that they ended up in hospital as a direct consequence of not taking their medication • 29% of respondents who paid for their prescriptions and did not have a Prescription Prepayment Certificate reported not taking their medicine as prescribed either occasionally or often. Over half of these gave the cost of the prescription as the main reason for not taking their medicine as prescribed. In a new report, Paying the Price. Prescription Charges and People with Long-Term Conditions, the Prescription Charges Coalition, says: “28-day prescribing may be costing more to both the NHS and the individual. Numerous initiatives to reduce medicine waste and improve the use of medicines have not addressed the impact of charges.” The report urges prescribers to think about a patient’s exemption status when deciding the prescription duration. The report concludes: “For stable, long-term conditions, three or six monthly prescribing may be the best approach. This will enable people to get on with their life while managing their condition and reduces the cost of unnecessary appointments.” The report was issued as England raises prescription charges by 20p to £7.85 on April 1.
In new advice from the BMA on avoiding excessive prescribing, GPs have been told that prescribing intervals should be in line with the medically appropriate needs of the patient, taking into account the need to safeguard NHS resources, patient convenience, and the dangers of excess drugs in the home. The GP guidance also cites a review of prescribing durations that recognises that shorter prescriptions are associated with significant increases in dispensing and other transaction costs, together with reductions in compliance in previously stable patients, and an increase in dissatisfaction amongst patients because of travel costs and time to obtain regular medicines. This review also states that shorter duration prescribing can place significant and unnecessary workload on the doctor and surgery staff.
KNAPP’s automated warehouse solution for Boots UK scoops five awards The material handling system supplied by warehouse automation specialist, KNAPP, to Boots UK at its new distribution facility in Burton-upon-Trent has won no less than five prestigious retail and logistics awards.
Welcoming the extension of the NMS, Sue Sharpe, PSNC chief executive, said: “This funding, which represents additional money outside of core contract funding, will be welcome for contractors. All negotiations are difficult at the moment and PSNC worked very hard to make the case to the DH and the NHS CB for the continuation of the NMS. The positive conclusions we were able to draw from our analysis provided the main evidence base for use by DH and the Board in their decision on re-commissioning the service. While this analysis will only be one factor in the NHS CB’s decision about the long-term future of the NMS, we are hopeful that the DH-commissioned evaluation will reflect our results.” Isle of Wight contractor and PSNC Service Development Subcommittee member Gary Warner added: “Ongoing widespread provision of the service is vital to demonstrate pharmacy’s commitment to supporting medicines optimisation. We will be doing all that we can to ensure that the service is able to continue beyond September, but the NHS CB will also want to see contractors’ continued commitment to providing the service to all eligible patients to deliver the maximum benefit for individuals and the NHS.”
Boots UK opened its new distribution centre in February 2012, investing over £50 million in the facility; this included the purchase of the existing 460,000 sq ft building – the area of six football pitches – its total refurbishment and the automated handling systems. The building accommodates the retailer’s e-commerce fulfilment operation, its Christmas gift operations and its growing international retail distribution, using a multichannel system designed and installed by KNAPP.

The system has increased time efficiency by 65% compared to the previous manual operation, while also improving order traceability and providing a significant reduction in variable costs.
Expertise in pharma wholesale Automated shuttle storage At the heart of the solution are 12 of KNAPP’s OSR Shuttle™ systems, which provide automated storage combined with goods-to-person order picking at eight ergonomically designed Pick-it-Easy workstations. KNAPP also supplied its own warehouse management and control systems to optimise
KNAPP’s client base in the pharmaceutical wholesale sector is impressive, with successful solutions supplied to The Cooperative Pharmacy, Celesio, Phoenix, Alliance and Sangers in the UK, as well as many leading international brands including Anzag in Germany; Aragofar and Hefagra in Spain; Medlog in Portugal; and Multipharma in Belgium. KNAPP clients in other industries include John Lewis, British Gas, Clarks, Avon Cosmetics, Bausch + Lomb, Coca-Cola, L’Oreal and Sony.

PSNC updates contractors on NHS transition Changes to the community pharmacy market entry rules designed to bring them into line with reforms in the health service have been highlighted by the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee (PSNC). The important changes included in the 2013 NHS (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013, which came into force in April are: Market entry the 2012 market entry provisions are carried forward into the 2013 regulations but contractors should note that pharmacy applications that meet a current or future need identified in the pharmaceutical needs assessment (PNA) or are based on the premise of ‘unforeseen benefits’ are subject to approval by the NHS Commissioning Board (NHSCB). This amendment is intended to ensure the best use is made of NHS resources in the new NHS structure, in which the PNA is written by the local health and wellbeing board, an organisation that is not responsible for the cost of funding the pharmaceutical services Publication deadline for PNA extended the deadline for Health and Wellbeing Boards to review the PNA will be extended to April 2015 Providing fitness to practice information when making an application for inclusion in a pharmaceutical list, the applicant no longer has to re-submit fitness to practise details to the NHSCB that has already been provided to the NHSCB or primary care trust Methadone the item level fee for oral liquid methadone prescriptions changes to £2.50 per prescription. From April 2013 contractors will additionally be able to claim a fee of 55p per additional dose packaged separately. The Department of Health (DH) has amended the terms of service to enable the pharmacist to decide the appropriate container in which to supply methadone Prescriber identification under new terms of service, pharmacies will be able to refuse
to dispense prescriptions that do not contain cost-centre information. PSNC advises that pharmacists will be expected to check whether the prescriber’s cost centre identity information is included on the prescription form, and take steps to establish the relevant identity and enter it onto the prescription where it is absent. Negotiations are to take place to decide the appropriate remuneration for this addition to the pharmacy workload Nomination electronic prescription service (EPS) nominations from patients prior to a change of ownership will continue following a change of ownership. However, within a deadline of six months patients must be informed that the ownership has changed and asked whether they wish to continue to nominate the pharmacy Education pharmacy contractors, along with other primary care contractors, have a new duty to co-operate with Health Education England (HEE) over matters relating to education and training

Continued from page 1 Earlier this year PSNC confirmed that contractors were unlikely to see finalised funding for 2012-13 before the end of March, due to the need to embed updated COSI findings, which was first published in 2011, into a new multi-year funding agreement. To mitigate the effect of the delayed funding negotiations, PSNC has announced that effective from April, 2013, there will be: • An increase in the practice payment payable by 8p per item • 100% advance payments (for the May statement onwards) • Introduction of the Government’s Supply Chain Finance Scheme • Introduction of new methadone fee arrangements • A new requirement to ensure prescriptions have a prescriber code.
Sue Sharpe
PSNC Chief Executive Sue Sharpe said: “Although there will be no ‘big bang’ on April 1st when the organisations of the reformed NHS take over from the existing bodies, for community pharmacies there are going to be a number of important changes.
“The increase in practice payments will be welcome for businesses. The move to 100% advance payments will provide a boost to payments due at the beginning of June, and the introduction of the Government’s supply chain finance scheme will also be helpful for many contractors.
Local Healthwatch contractors have a duty to allow access to the premises by Local Healthwatch organisations Safeguarding the reference to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults included in the previous clinical governance arrangements is replaced with a requirement to have appropriate safeguarding arrangements for service users
“Community pharmacies will also want to be aware of some new requirements in the reformed NHS, for example the need to check that prescriptions have a cost centre code on them, and they will need to understand the new endorsing arrangements for methadone prescriptions. ”

EXHIBITOR NEWS
Fresh Pharmacist of Bel-Air Now this is the story all about how My life got flipped, turned upside down And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there I’ll tell you how I became the pharmacist of a town called Bel-Air In West Yorkshire PCT born and raised In the dispensary where I spent most of my days Chilling out, dispensing, relaxing all cool And all doing some chlamydia screening outside of the school
If your feet are Good, Life is Good

The key to the uniqueness of OrthoSole is its innovative adjustable support system. OrthoSole is the world’s first and only insole with adjustable arch and metatarsal support elements.
At Pharmacy Show redmed will exhibit it’s Soft-Tampons for example. These Original Soft-Tampons have been designed in line with the latest gynaecological insights to provide maximum wearing comfort (during menstruation). Hygienic safety is the target. The stringless Soft-Tampons are ideal for wearing in sauna, for swimming, for hygienic lovemaking during menstruation and for all other activities.
When a couple of GPs who were up to no good’ Started making trouble in my neighbourhood I got in one little fight and my Area manager got scared And said ‘you’re moving with your cluster manager in Bel-Air’ I begged and pleaded with her the other day But she packed my MDS and sent me on my way She gave me a kissin’ and she gave me my ticket I put my iPod on and said I might as well kick it I whistled for a delivery driver and when it came near The License plate said ‘Fresh’ and had a pestle ‘n’ mortar in the mirror If anything I could say that this delivery van was rare But I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air I pulled up to a pharmacy about seven or eight And I yelled to the delivery driver ‘Yo, home smell you later’ Looked at my pharmacy I was finally there To sit on my throne as the pharmacist of Bel-Air
Medical and sexual medical products
give support to that area.
Each OrthoSole insole comes with six support options for adjustments that is customised by the wearer: with light, medium and firm arch and metatarsal support pads. Each support pad is uniquely shaped to
OrthoSole also uses the PORON® Performance Cushioning. Developed by Rogers’ Corporation, the heat and pressure sensitive high density memory foam material gives extra shock absorption.
Also redmed will display MEDIballs secret. After a three-year development phase, redmed has launched the MEDIballs secret, a unique design allowing for discreet pelvic floor training. This unique training device was developed to effectively strengthen the female pelvic floor muscles whilst simultaneously having a stimulating effect.
The technology and design combined within the OrthoSole provides relief of foot pressure points and, in combination with the adjustable support elements, leads to improved body alignment and better weight distribution.
We look forward to seeing you at our booth!

Activa launches their Leg Health Campaign
Americas number 1 ecig brand
As an initiative to educate the public in the importance of looking after their legs, Angela Rippon has agreed to be an ambassador for Activa in launching their Leg Health Campaign.
If you’ve not made a decision about listing electronic cigarettes, or have been shown various brands and don’t know what to go for, visit V2cigs on stand D94 and we’ll demonstrate Americas number 1 ecig brand and how you can protect YOUR brand by relying on ours. Even if you already list some brands, check out Premium quality V2cigs because they are in general public demand with Internet sales growing by over 250% in the last 6 months.
In line with the NHS, Activa’s focus is on prevention - giving a positive message that ‘It’s never too early to take leg health seriously’ and the local Pharmacy is a good place to start. Activa have posters and leaflets to help pharmacies encourage customers to get their legs checked. Visit the Activa Stand to find out how to get involved. To make your life a little easier, the new Activa Hosiery App can help you to advise on appropriate hosiery. Just select hosiery by condition, size, or range - the App does the rest. Making time for CPD is not always easy, but let Activa help. Log on to the pharmacy section of the Activa website and find modules for pharmacists. At the same time view the videos and tips on encouraging the purchase of compression hosiery. We look forward to seeing you!
