Dermatology Data Collection

Community Pharmacy Devon is asking you to undertaking a six week data collection exercise starting March 1st and finishing 20th April  this is to help inform future commissioning decisions. The aim is to better understand patient needs, service demand, and the activity currently being delivered across community pharmacies.

The information gathered will support evidence based planning, strengthen business cases for future services, and ensure that commissioning decisions reflect the realities of patient care in community pharmacy.

What Pharmacies Need to Do

  • Collect data from eligible patients over the six week period.
  • Ensure each patient is only captured once to avoid duplication.
  • Record information accurately and submit it according on Pharmoutcomes.
  • Submit findings by 30th April.

Incentive Payment

Participating pharmacies will receive a £75 payment upon successful completion and submission of the full 6-week dataset.

How the Data Will Be Used

The data will be analysed to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for service improvement. It will be used solely for commissioning and service development purposes.
