IP Pathfinder update for Derbyshire contractors …

CP Derbyshire is reliably informed that following the national announcements to ICBs about the IP Pathfinder programme, Joined Up Care Derbyshire ICB have been approved for four community pharmacy sites. NHSE Midlands are undertaking the EOI process for pharmacies to register their interest. This will be sent to pharmacy teams via NHS email to their pharmacy inboxes later this week or early next week. Even if you have previously expressed an interest you will still need to do so as part of this formal process so keep an eye on your NHS mail over the coming days. The IP Pathfinder represents a step change opportunity to develop the future way of working model in readiness for pharmacy students graduating from 2026 onwards as IPs. As such CP Derbyshire will be investing considerable time and resource into supporting this important work to make sure community pharmacy contractors are properly represented.
