Kent and Medway Pharmacy Contraception Workshop

On Sunday 2nd February 2025 Community Pharmacy Kent and CPPE had the pleasure of hosting the first Kent and Medway Pharmacy Contraception Workshop. This collaborative event marked a key milestone as the first workshop dedicated to pharmacists and GPhC-registered pharmacy technicians in the area.
We want to say a massive thank you for all Pharmacist and Pharmacist Technician who attended and contributed to the success of the event.
The workshop focused on supporting pharmacist colleagues in shared decision-making with patients who are starting, continuing, or changing contraception within the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service.
The Community Pharmacy England highlighted the 31st March 2025 deadline for pharmacy owners delivering Pharmacy First to also deliver:
Pharmacy Contraception Service
Hypertension Case-Finding Service
This ensures eligibility for the monthly £1,000 fixed payment, provided relevant consultation thresholds are met.
We are excited to continue supporting the development of enhanced pharmacy services across Kent and Medway to better serve the health needs of our communities.
