Black Country ICB Minor Ailments Scheme Guides and Documents

The updated Black Country ICB Minor Ailments Scheme (MAS) enables pharmacies to enrol onto the service directly through PharmOutcomes. Contractors must email mlcsu.pharmacyservicequeries@nhs.net if the service does not appear so that they can accredit and give any necessary support. The scheme went live on 1^st July 2022. This will run until 2024.

When contractors login, they should be able to view under the services tab. All Black Country providers will need to enrol onto the platform as shown in the screenshots below in order to acknowledge they have read the service specification and to declare they are competent to deliver it.
