NHS England has extended the deadline for clinical pharmacists employed under the 'Clinical Pharmacist in General Practice Scheme' to transfer to working under PCN DES until 30 November 2019. This is to allow people more time to finalise the arrangements where a transition has been or was in the process of being agreed. After this date, any clinical pharmacists who have not transitioned to work as part of the PCN workforce delivering the duties outlined in the Network Contract DES will not longer be able to do so. 

They will be counted in the PCN staff baseline.
