New Medicine Service (NMS) Targets - English Pharmacies only

The NMS Targets screen provides an overview of New Medicine Service (NMS) targets for all stores in your group. It allows you to set and achieve realistic NMS targets for each of your stores, helping you to easily track your progress through the current month:

NMS Targets Headline

The NMS Targets headline provides a dynamic summary of the NMS targets for the selected month:

• If the current month is selected the headline displays the predicted target and the next band value target:

  

  In this example:

  • Your stores are currently predicted to complete 15% of the NMS services available, providing a predicted value of £20,122.

  • If your stores reach the 40% NMS band value target, they could generate £68,432.

  Training Tip - If your stores reach the 40% target the 50% value displays and so on.
  Note - The predicted income is based on an automated model to predict your items claimed for the month. The income is then based on the NMS Tariff, see New Medicine Service (NMS) Band Tariff for details.

• If a previous (completed) month is selected the headline displays the completed NMS percentage, the number of completed NMS consultations and the income:

  

  In this example:

  • Your stores have completed 12% of the NMS services available, completing 6 NMS consultations which provide a value of £174.

100% Target Reached

Should a store reach the 100% NMS band target based on the predicted items claimed, the Completed Count displays in green and the two Scheduled Follow Ups - Value amounts display in red. This is to highlight that they have reached the 100% NMS band target and so they are not paid for any more NMS consultations that they carry out:
