Chronic Medication Service (CMS)
The Chronic Medication Service (CMS) allows patients with long-term conditions to register with a community pharmacy of their choice for the provision of medicines as part of a shared agreement between the patient, community pharmacist and General Practitioner (GP).
There are three stages to CMS:
Stage 1 – involves the registration of patients for CMS. A patient with a long term condition/s registers with a community pharmacy of their choice to receive CMS. He/she can only register with one pharmacy at any one time for the service. Registration is voluntary and includes an explicit informed patient consent process. This consent is given to the registering pharmacist.
Stage 2Stage 3 – The Pharmacy then shares this information with the GP Practice you are registered with. This allows the GP to produce a 24 or 48 week serial prescription for a patient which is dispensed at appropriate time intervals determined by the GP. Once the last instalment from the serial prescription has been dispensed the pharmacist electronically sends an end of care treatment summary, which includes a serial prescription renewal request to the GP practice.
