Covid19 Vaccines - Community Pharmacy Stand Up

The authority required Interim Consultancy to stand up further community pharmacies to deliver Covid19 vaccines. The team are following National guidance to significantly increase the number of Community Pharmacy sites delivering Covid19 vaccines (approximately 150-200 additional sites are needed, which is a 200% - 300% increase on the current number). We are undertaking an Expression of Interest process to support the sign ups of those pharmacies and this process requires significant resource. The process and governance model for assessing these Expressions of Interest requires definition to ensure transparency and effectiveness of data and information flow, clarity, consistency and fairness, and there is a short term need to increase resource to sign up Community Pharmacies, assure and onboard the significant increase in volumes expected.
