Universal Claim Framework (UCF) is a framework that enables electronic claiming for pharmacy led services. As well as Minor Ailments, there are 8 services currently in scope for UCF:
- Unscheduled Care
- Gluten-Free Food
- Emergency Hormonal Contraception
- Smoking Cessation
- Meningitis Vaccine Prophylaxis
- Impetigo
- Urinary Tract Infection
- Vitamin D Supplement Service
Before proceeding, community pharmacies must ensure they are in receipt of a box of the new CP4/3 Forms required for the delivery of some of the UCF services. Sites with any queries about UCF should contact CPDEVTEAM at: gg-uhb.cpdevteam@nhs.net
An overview of the UCL with a link to the matrix summarising which services a UCF should be used for can be found here.
Pharmacies may find it useful to print this matrix as a reference.
