Palliative Care Service
April 2022 – SLA Extended
NHSE&I have extended the SLA for the palliative care service so that it now runs to 30.9.2022. This service is currently running in selected pharmacies and NHSE&I are NOT looking for any new sites at this time.
All pharmacies currently offering the Staffordshire Palliative Care Service need to download this new SLA and, if they wish to continue providing the service, send the signature page to england.pharmacy-westmidlands@nhs.net
Please note, those working in multiples will need to forward this SLA to your head office for signature.
