NPAIN FOCUS NPA – supporting you in 2025
We know members are finding it tough with increasing costs, not least in National Insurance and minimum wage hikes, despite it all, you continue to provide great care to your patients. It is a privilege for the NPA to help you with your vital work, and we pledge to continue to support you in 2025.
NPA Insurance no longer charges for vaccine administration, including covid, flu and travel vaccinations which are administered by any suitably trained staff members.
We will be enabling the independent prescribers of the future to practice, and the NPAI’s indemnity policy now extends, at no extra charge, to cover employed Designated Prescribing Practitioners for training of newly qualified independent prescribers working for our policy holders.

UK Covid-19 public inquiry
The UK Covid-19 public inquiry has now moved onto Module 4. As ‘core participants’ we have been highlighting the major contribution of community pharmacy to the Covid-19 programme.
Our submissions and evidence ensure that members’ heroic work are included in the official record of the pandemic – and we hope will help ensure that community pharmacy is in good shape to face future public health crises.
