Pharmacy Quality Scheme Data 2022/23

<h2>Dataset Description</h2>

<p>The Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS) forms part of the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF).&nbsp;</p>
<p>PQS is designed to support delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan and reward community pharmacies that deliver quality criteria in three quality dimensions:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>clinical effectiveness&nbsp;</li>
<li>patient safety&nbsp;</li>
<li>patient experience&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>The PQS 22/23 was comprised of five quality domains:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Risk Management and Safeguarding&nbsp;</li>
<li>Respiratory&nbsp;</li>
<li>Healthy Living Support&nbsp;</li>
<li>Prevention&nbsp;</li>
<li>Addressing Unwarranted Variation in Care&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>Hosted on the Open Data Portal are datasets relating to the five quality domains and one other dataset for the Patient Safety Report gateway criterion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each of the pharmacies listed in each dataset were eligible to receive a PQS payment on 1 April 2023 by declaring that they met the requirements of the gateway criteria, and the requirements of at least one quality domain. The datasets provide each pharmacy&rsquo;s answers to the declaration questions as they were entered into MYS.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Please note, not all questions asked as part of the PQS 22/23 declaration are present in the datasets. The data dictionary for each file details the questions but you can also view all questions for each quality domain in the <a href="https://github.com/NHSBSA-Open-Data/OPD/raw/main/PQS%202022-23%20Questions.xlsx">PQS Questions 2022-23 (XLSX: 24.2 KB)</a> document.&nbsp;</p>
