NHS Digital has sought feedback from pharmacies to improve the NHS website’s pharmacy profile editor.

The agency has invited pharmacy teams to participate in the process by taking part in research interviews.

The process involves a short video call with the participants in which they will test a prototype version of the pharmacy profile editor and be asked to share their opinion.

These video interviews will take place on June 30 and on July 1, July 2 and July 5.

The NHS website team will schedule a time on one of the above dates.

The team is especially interested in those who do not typically adopt digital technologies early, as this will better enable them make the profile editor easy to use for all pharmacy staff.
