Emerging research from the DDA's dispensary profitability survey shows that GP partners are cutting their own pay rather than #dispensinggp services and staffing in a bid to support #rural medicine services. Please add your voice to the survey. dispensingdoctor.org/news/do…

What really goes against your common sense is dispensing Apixaban which is best price from my main wholesaler this month ~ £34 and the drug tariff price is £2.99 What other business would do this?

Another important medicine- olanzapine 20mg tablets. The department of health pay us £1.50 per pack. Then they take 20% OFF as they expect us to get a discount - so we receive £1.20. The cheapest we can buy is £2.67. We get paid less than half the cost. #saveourpharmacies

NHS Clinical System (EMIS) National Outage Unfortunately our clinical system has been affected by the national IT outage. Our phone lines are still open, but we are unable to access our clinical system. This includes medical records and our appointment system.

A reminder to GP contract holders - As an independent contractor to the NHS, you don't have to wait for permission from the BMA to start scaling back services. It is not possible to deliver all services with a 1.9% contract uplift. Consider planning cuts.
