The Urgent and Emergency Care Review (2016) highlighted potential of pharmacies open up to 100 hours a week with A qualified pharmacist on hand to advise on minor illness and medication queries

What is DMIRS?

The Digital Minor Illness Referral Service (DMIRS) aims to appropriately manage patients contacting NHS 111 with low acuity conditions, by referring the patient to a community pharmacy. The primary aim of the DMIRS is to increase capacity in the system and relieve pressure on existing urgent care services; delivering care closer to home in the community and promoting self care.

How has DMIRS come to Devon?

  • Started as a pilot in North East England (since

September 2017)

  • Funded by the Pharmacy Integration Fund

Early results, based on 7,404 completed referrals from the first 7 months of provision, show that almost 64% of referrals resulted in appropriate advice being given, with 31% of these patients also purchasing a recommended medication.

Why is the service important?

  • It is a formal referral from the NHS – integrating

community pharmacy into a patient pathway

  • It will reinforce the recent NHSE guidance:

‘Conditions for which over the counter items should not routinely be prescribed in primary care’; and

  • ‘It will further encourage patients to choose their

community pharmacy as their first point of contact for advice’

  • Helps develop community pharmacy’s position as a
