NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB is working in partnership with Primary Care, local VCSE organisations, communities and Healthwatch Derbyshire to improve vaccination programmes across the city and county.

There is ongoing work training local people in a public health qualification and, alongside VCSE partners, running events in their communities to start conversations about vaccinations.

Insight from this work, along with previous engagement, is being brought together to develop an action plan to support future planning across the system.

The ICB would like to hear from those involved in delivering these services. Your feedback will help shape future planning and improvements.

The following questions will take around 5–10 minutes to complete. Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable views.

Quite possibly one of Community Pharmacy Derbyshire’s longest standing members, Darryl has been part of the committee for 25 years! He’s been treasurer for the last six years and is the fantastic host of our bi-monthly committee meetings at Peak Pharmacy HQ in Bolsover.

Over to you Darryl!

“When I completed my GCSEs, I didn’t know what I wanted to do career-wise. As such, when the opportunity arose to do some work experience at Etwall Pharmacy, I took it and really enjoyed it. It made me realise I wanted to work in pharmacy and help people.

“While studying for my A Levels, I worked as a waiter at the local Little Chef. Spending more time working than studying – I hate to admit that! – I didn’t do particularly well in my A Levels, so I was pleased to be offered a place at Sunderland Polytechnic to study Pharmacy. It was hard work, but I graduated with a 2:1 and I went on to complete my pre-reg with Lloyds in Castle Bromwich under the tutelage of Mr Welsby who was very strict and tore strips off you if you didn’t learn. Needless to say, I focused on learning!

“Remaining with Lloyds for 23 years, I worked in relief pharmacist roles in Birmingham, Derby, Nottingham and Mansfield. I then spent seven years with Dr Orchard at the Limes Medical Centre in Alfreton where I was privileged to be part of the LIFT project.

“In 2007, I moved into a professional development management role and worked as an Area Manager for several years. Winning Lloyds’ Area Manager of the Year 2009 was a real highlight. Then, in 2018, I took on the role of Head of Business Transformation at Peak Pharmacy.

“Working with the Peak team to open our purpose-built warehouse and head office on Buttermilk Lane in Bolsover was my key focus for the next few years. Starting with a blank sheet of paper, we designed the automation and integration systems for our pack-to-patient service and MDS. Everything was up and running by our deadline date of 22nd April 2024 – a truly exciting milestone for the business and very rewarding on a personal level.

Two years later and we are now packing and delivering 32,000 MDS trays per month and over 750,000 prescription items a month too via hub and spoke.

“When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my wife Laura (who I met through community pharmacy!) and our two children, Lottie and Louie and their noisy guinea pigs.”

Since January, we've recorded a big increase in people using the search term 'sinusitis' and landing on our Pharmacy First Derbyshire website.

We know from last year's data that sinusitis is prevalent in the winter and spring months so please make sure you and your pharmacy teams can deal with patients presenting with symptoms of sinusitis. Let them know that they can have a free Pharmacy First consultation with you and that you can provide medication if required.

Use the graphic below on your social media or website to promote the service and highlight that sinusitis can be treated quickly and conveniently in your pharmacy without an appointment!

Each month over £200,000, (£1,000 per contractor), is available to contractors across Derbyshire who complete more than 30 clinical pathway consultations.
However, a significant proportion of this funding is lost each month because contractors do not meet the required 30 consultations, or only partially meet the threshold.

Our discussions with pharmacists across the system have highlighted that there may be some confusion around what constitutes “meeting the gateway”, resulting in many legitimate claims being missed.

This webinar aims to support contractors and their teams to better understand the gateway changes and to help ensure that more of the £200,000 available is successfully claimed each month.

Please register your interest using the following link or simply can scan the QR code below. We look forward to seeing you!

You can now watch a recording of Community Pharmacy England’s recent online workshop to help with the completion of the Data Security and Protection Toolkit for 2026.

During the webinar, representatives from Community Pharmacy England and NHS England’s cybersecurity team provided guidance on completing the Toolkit questions, gave a demonstration of how to use and navigate it, and answered viewers’ questions on how to make the data security declaration.

Pharmacy owners are required to finalise their pharmacy’s Data Security and Protection Toolkit submission by 𝟯𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, so watching this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to make good headway in its completion.

As part of NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB's ongoing work to grow pharmacist independent prescribing capacity within community pharmacy, we have been informed that The Hub+ Derbyshire is supporting up to 20 new Independent Prescribers across Derbyshire, by funding the expansion of Designated Prescribing Practitioner capacity over the coming year (2026-2027).

This funding is to reimburse Designated Prescribing Practitioners (DPPs) for their time in return for their commitment to support an independent prescriber, as their DPP, for the duration of their course.

𝗗𝗣𝗣 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
The ICB is inviting expressions of interests from DPPs who can supervise an Independent Prescriber up to 60 hours over the next 12 months for the duration of their course (DPPs oversee 90 hours supervision but only a proportion of this is usually direct supervision with the DPP, some of the time is with other multidisciplinary healthcare professionals). This support will be funded at £4,500 per Independent Prescriber.

Time to meet our next Community Pharmacy Derbyshire committee member. This month we caught up with Yasir Pirmohamed, pharmacist and owner of Moir Pharmacy in Long Eaton. Over to you Yas!

“I grew up in Dubai and it was very different to the Dubai of today, just a small, old town in the Middle East. When I finished school, I really wanted to study for my A Levels and then go university but there wasn’t a higher education college or university in Dubai, so I went to live with my uncle in Birmingham.

“Arriving in the UK was a huge cultural change for me but I soon got used to my new way of life. After completing my A Levels, I studied Pharmacy at Aston University and completed my pre-reg at Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield. I loved working in the hospital pharmacy but, as I’d had to pay for my university education being an overseas student, I couldn’t afford to stay in the hospital environment simply because the pay was much better in community pharmacy!

“Whilst applying for community pharmacy roles, I worked for Sainsburys and then landed a job with Co-op working in a medical centre. I spent seven years there, however I had always wanted to own my own pharmacy, so when the opportunity arose to purchase one in Long Eaton, 60 miles from my home, I seized the chance.

“That was 12 years ago, and I’ve been managing Moir Pharmacy every day since! It’s a tough role as I’m on my own with no back-office support or extra help but it’s very rewarding. When I’m not working, I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my wife and two children and playing lots of different sports, as well as hiking in the Peak District.”

Community Pharmacy England is aware of a recent increase in scam emails being sent to community pharmacies. Some of these messages falsely claim that the pharmacy is under investigation for a data protection or GDPR compliance breach.

These emails can appear convincing at first glance. However, they often feature significant warning signs and should be deleted without responding.

𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
❗ May be sent from free webmail accounts, such as Gmail, rather than official domains used by the NHS, the Information Commissioner’s Office
❗ Claims that the pharmacy is subject to a mandatory GDPR investigation
❗ Threats of urgent deadlines or potential enforcement action
❗ When you hover over a link (without clicking it) on a desktop, you can see if the ‘real’ web address differs from the ‘displayed’ one, and seems suspicious

Community Pharmacy England has launched its fifth annual Pharmacy Pressures Survey, and are now keen to hear from all pharmacy owners and staff.

The survey is crucial for monitoring the health of the sector. Its findings provide clear evidence of the realities facing community pharmacy. CPE has acknowledged that being asked for feedback every year can feel repetitive, but the enormous response they receive from contractors is invaluable: it captures what is needed to continue pushing for vital changes, using the latest evidence to strengthen the case and support the sector.
