MUR quarterly summary


 

In order to build on the introduction of targeted MURs in October 2011, NHS Employers and Community Pharmacy England (PSNC) have agreed revised information to be reported to the NHS England Area Team on request

Each participating pharmacy will need to complete the reporting template (a standard spreadsheet defined by NHS Employers/Community Pharmacy England (PSNC)) by collating the necessary data from pharmacy records for the MURs conducted in that quarter within 10 working days from the last day of June, September, December and March each year. Completed templates must be provided to the NHS England Area Team or successor organisation on request (which may be an ongoing request).
