NHS Wales Performers and Pharmacy List

Description

The Medical Performers List (MPL), Ophthalmic Performers List (OPL), Dental Performers List (DPL) and All Wales Pharmacy Database (AWPD) record the eligibility of performers in Wales to provide NHS services in each of the disciplines named above. In addition, they record the details of the performers employer organisations i.e. those that hold contracts to provide NHS primary care services to Health Boards e.g. GP, dental and ophthalmic practices and community pharmacies). Applications for inclusion in the lists, maintenance of the lists and maintenance of contracted providers (contractors) information is managed on behalf of Health Boards by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP), Primary Care Services division (PCS). A legacy IT solution currently underpins this process.
