Since 2007 all pharmacies must conduct an annual community pharmacy patient questionnaire (CPPQ) as part of the pharmacy contract in England and Wales.  Although mandatory the questionnaire offers a great opportunity for pharmacists to find out what their patients and customers think and for patients to provide valuable feedback to community pharmacies on the services they provide so it is important to value it and choose the right provider.

The Pharmacy Centre already works with over 1500 independent pharmacies and have an established reputation within the industry for incredible value and customer service.  Due to demand we now provide the most cost effective and efficient solution on the market.

Survey requirement details..

• The minimum number of returned surveys for each pharmacy is based upon the average monthly script volume. This ranges from 50 surveys for a pharmacy dispensing fewer than 2000 prescriptions a month to 150 surveys for those dispensing over 8001 prescriptions a month.
• The survey must have the name and address of the pharmacy on it must be distributed from these premises.
• Only persons who have received NHS services from the pharmacy should be surveyed
• Surveys should be distributed to a range of customer types so that the results will reasonably reflect the pharmacy’s business profile.
• Examples include:
  
  • An appropriate mix of patients who have received an MUR and those who have not received an enhanced service;
  • Even distribution over the opening hours of the pharmacy, including weekends and extended hours;
  • Inclusion of patients who have their prescriptions delivered to their homes (if they represent a significant number).
