We also look at some of the answers to frequently
asked questions that we receive on NMS

• NMS can be provided to patients in a care home as they have
the same entitlement to treatment as they would in their own
home. Remember the follow up can be undertaken by phone
if they cannot get to the pharmacy, this is unless they do not
have the mental capacity to do so.

• The NMS interventions and follow ups must be done by a
pharmacist who has self declared they have the knowledge
and skills to do so, it cannot be completed by a pharmacy
Technician

• A common question we receive is ‘can I claim for NMS
completion if the patient was recruited to the service but I
cannot contact them for the provision of the intervention?’
sorry but the answer is ’ NO ‘ If the intervention stage has been
completed but the patient is non contactable for the follow up
stage, this NMS can be claimed for.
• Remember Patients consent must be obtained this can be
verbal as long as it is recorded on the clinical record service log.
• On Numark Net you have at your fingertips tools such as NMS,
data collection form, Follow up questions, NMS intervention
questions and NMS Self Certification etc.
