Newham Community Pharmacy project: Announcement re close of service

The Newham enhanced community pharmacy service for children with asthma and wheeze (pilot) will be closing for referrals on 1^st April 2025. Participating pharmacies will continue to see patients throughout April in order to honour all referrals into the service.

We encourage practices to continue to signpost eligible patients to the service whilst it is still in operation.

If you require any assistance in running searches to identify eligible patients, please contact Laura King, Senior Children & Young People’s Asthma Practitioner for North-East London at laura.king4@nhs.net

If you have any queries regarding this service, please do not hesitate to contact the project lead Dr Rachel Parker at rachel.parker8@nhs.net

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for participating in this pilot service. We will be reaching out to practices in the coming weeks to obtain feedback and look forward to hearing about your experiences of referring into the service.
