the NHS Highland&nbsp;Community Pharmacy Services website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the left side of the screen, you will see a list of categories, providing all relevant and up to date information regarding community pharmacy services in NHS Highland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NHS Highland Community Pharmacy Services support a diverse population across one of the most geographically varied health board areas in Scotland. Covering both remote and rural communities, including islands and sparsely populated regions, as well as more urban centres such as Inverness, community pharmacies play a vital role in ensuring equitable access to healthcare. Through close partnership with independent contractor pharmacies, the service enables delivery of essential and enhanced care, helping to meet the needs of local populations while addressing the unique challenges associated with distance, accessibility, and population distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This website has been developed by the NHS Highland Community Pharmacy Services team. We would like this website to be used as a hub for all things Community Pharmacy. If there is something that you think would be helpful to add, please email us on nhsh.cpsoffice@nhs.scot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where are all of our Community Pharmacies located? For a full list of opening hours and service provision, please go to the downloadable Community Pharmacy Information Pack at the left side of the screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-highland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-highland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/image-10.png 601w, https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-highland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/image-10-300x261.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alerts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Circulars, Drug Alerts &amp; MSAN&#8217;s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.publications.scot.nhs.uk\/\">NHS Scotland &#8211; Publications<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Methylphenidate Shortage Information for Community Pharmacies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-highland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Methylphenidate-Shortage-Flow-Chart.pdf\" title=\"Methylphenidate Shortage Flow Chart\" class=\"link-to-media\">Methylphenidate Shortage Flow Chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ADHD Medication Memo for Community Pharmacies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-highland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/ADHD-Medication-Memo-12.11.2024.pdf\" title=\"ADHD Medication Memo - 12.11.2024\" class=\"link-to-media\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-highland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/ADHD-Medication-Memo-12.11.2024.pdf\">ADHD Medication<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Celebrating Success in Community Pharmacy Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Training Events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong><strong>June 2026<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>STI Training<\/strong> &#8211; 16th June 19.00 &#8211; 20.00<\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Down below, please find a list of essential contacts for the Community Pharmacy Services team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For general enquiries, please contact the <strong>nhsh.cpsoffice@nhs.scot<\/strong> email address as your first point of contact.
