It enhances patient access and can reduce pressure on general practice through optimal use of community pharmacy pathways. This session aims to equip care navigators in general practice with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools needed to make safe and effective referrals to Pharmacy First services.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Describe the purpose, scope, and benefits of the Pharmacy First service
• Confidently explain the referral process and patient journey
• Identify which patients and presenting conditions are suitable for Pharmacy First referral
