Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee

The Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee (PSNC) is recognised by the UK Secretary of State for Health as representative of community pharmacy on NHS matters. PSNC’s main objective is to secure the best possible remuneration, terms and conditions for NHS pharmacy contractors in England and Wales. Much of the PSNC’s work involves discussions and negotiations with the Department of Health.

PSNC also operates the National Prescription Research Centre (NPRC) based in North London. A percentage of all prescriptions sent to the NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA) Prescription Pricing Division are checked and any errors in pricing are corrected.
