NHS England recently launched a new national framework agreement for the collection and disposal of unwanted medicines from pharmacies.
Following a procurement process, five suppliers have been chosen and will be invited to ‘bid’ for contracts in local areas when current contracts expire.
Changes aren’t happening straight away for pharmacies as implementation will be phased.
