NHS Pathways 111 DoS
The Directory of Services (DoS) is a central directory of information which provides NHS 111 call handlers and others with real-time information about services available to support a patient. Pharmacies’ services are included within the DoS and it is important to the efficient working of NHS 111 and some other urgent care providers that information on pharmacy services is accurate to allow patients to be appropriately referred to community pharmacies.
