Pharmacies must complete the CPAF every year. This is a demonstration of compliance with the community pharmacy contract.
The process includes a short questionnaire, consisting of 10 questions. Information collected from this questionnaire helps to identify whether a pharmacy needs visiting. This must be completed by 31st July 2025
If a pharmacy is considered for a visit, the full, comprehensive CPAF pre-visit questionnaire will be initiated. This is the second part of the process.
Please contact pharmacysupport@nhsbsa.nhs.uk with any queries regarding CPAF.
