Note - It is important to note that payment for providing the NMS is not made on a per completed NMS episode basis. Instead payment is based on the performance of each pharmacy in maximising the completions achieved from the expected NMS opportunities. Pharmacy Manager does not provide any reports for submitting to the authorities. Furthermore, pharmacy records for the service require maintaining to support the delivery of the service and audit. Pharmacy Manager does not provide either scheduling functionality for patient consultations or follow-up appointments, nor the means of recording outcomes of any such patient appointments.
