West-Midlands DOS Lead:

dosleads@wmas.nhs.uk

Please note DSPs can’t use NHS Profile Manager at this time. DSPs can contact their DoS team. The method to identify email addresses of DoS teams is in the ‘DoS oversight’ section of the CPE DoS webpage .

The National DoS emergency telephone number 0300 0200 363 is available 24/7 to support if the user has trouble updating DoS.

=================

The Directory of Services (DoS) is used by other services within the NHS (particularly NHS111) to identify which community pharmacies are open and which services they offer so they can ensure patients are referred to an appropriate pharmacy. Ensuring the DoS is up to date with the pharmacy’s current CPCS availability is important to prevent referrals being made to your pharmacy if you cannot offer the service and will prevent any disruption to patient care.

Profile Manager should be used to ensure the Directory of Services (DoS) is up to date if there is a temporary suspension of all services. If only CPCS is unavailable, the DoS should be updated via your regional DoS Team by contacting them via the email address below

In the West Midlands:    Bcicb.wmdosleads@nhs.net

You will need to include the following information on your DoS request:

  • ODS code of the Pharmacy
  • Address and postcode of the Pharmacy
  • Reason CPCS is unavailable
  • Planned date and time when it will be available
  • Name of person requesting the update
