  • NHS Pharmacy Initiative Scheme

    Please be vigilant as there are firms calling patients to try and take over the delivery of medication.

    If they contact you please contact the NorthEast Commissioning Support Unit http://www.necsu.nhs.uk/ as they are currently collecting information to find out how widespread this kind of service is.

    They are aware of companies cold calling patients to offer prescription collection services and in some cases suggesting that this is with the agreement of the practice.The Medical Group does not endorse any company cold calling patients and requesting their medication details.

    The NECSu has a questionnaire to complete which includes the following questions;

    - Did the caller state they were a marketing company working on behalf of registered pharmacies?
    - Did the caller state they were operating on behalf of the NHS?
    - Did the caller claim to be calling on behalf of any particular GP or GP practice?

    Please be very careful about giving your personal and medical details to anyone calling you unless you are happy to do so and have properly identified to whom you are talking.

    If in doubt, call your surgery, or your pharmacy and check with them.
