Overview
The Care at the Chemist scheme allows patients to consult a community pharmacist rather than a GP for a defined list of minor ailments. The service aims to improve access and choice for people with minor ailments by promoting self-care through the pharmacy, including provision of advice and, where appropriate, medicines and/or appliances without the need to visit the GP Practice.
NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB has awarded a one year contract via Direct Award A to selected St Helens pharmacies. The contract commenced on 1st April 2026 and will expire on 31st March 2027 with an indicative annual contract value of £146880. The contract is an activity based contract.
