Pharmacy First replaces Community Pharmacist Consultation Service (CPCS). This code appears to have been active in SNOMED CT UK edition since 15-02-2023 and there was a minor illness scheme in CPCS so code might be used prior to launch of Pharmacy First. https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/mi-snomed-code-usage-in-primary-care/2022-23 lists ~5000 uses of the code up to 31-07-23.
There are 3 parts to Pharmacy First:
