STEP 8: Aspiration Payment Claim – Deadline 29th October 2021
What is the aspiration payment?
- It is an advanced payment for the Pharmacy Quality Scheme 2021/22.
- The maximum number of points you can receive an aspiration payment for is 70% of the number of points within your band.
- The maximum number of points available to a pharmacy PCN lead differs from that of a non-PCN lead.
- It is an optional claim and not claiming now does not affect your ability to claim your PQS in February.
