Background

Following the publication of the Pharmacy White Paper (Pharmacy in England: Building on Strengths – delivering the future) the consultation document, Building on strengths – delivering the future – proposals for legislative change fulfils the commitment to consult on a number of proposals for structural change. The Department believes they will transform delivery and align pharmaceutical services within the wider NHS reform programme.

During October, the Department of Health is hosting a series of six national events to support the consultation and listen to the views of stakeholders. The events will all be interactive with themed workshop sessions.

Who should attend?

All stakeholders are welcome but we would particularly like representatives from public and patient organisations, community pharmacists and appliance contractors. The agenda for two of the events has been tailored to two of these groups, one for patient and public representatives only and one for pharmacists only. This event is tailored towards pharmacists.
