The Drug Tariff

For most community pharmacists who are either employed or work as a locum the Drug Tariff is somewhat of a mystery. It's not a source most of us ever feel the need to use but it is an essential guide to how pharmacies are paid by the NHS and hence critical to the survival of a community pharmacy business. 

Due to requests from a number of pharmacists and pharmacy owners on the Pahramcist Cooperative network we decided to do a special Pharmacy Lounge Podcast on the Drug Tariff with special guest Ben Merriman. Please follow the link below for the full Youtube video of the podcast and we have also added the individual slides from the show for reference.
