A Call to Action- improving health and patient care through community pharmacy

Your input is needed to help shape future services provided by community pharmacy, both locally and nationally.

As you know, health and social care services are experiencing severe pressures in primary and emergency care. There is a predicted funding gap in the years ahead, so we cannot to continue to provide services in the same way. Community pharmacy has much to offer in reducing these pressures, as part of a whole system approach, and is currently under-utilised. The input from health and social care professionals, the public, CCGs, Health and Wellbeing Boards and Local Authorities will be crucial to the success of this initiative.

The LPC is working closely with the LPN to put on this event to help stimulate debate and formulate a response to the consultation.

Your contiribution is needed.

Food and Drink will be available from 6pm with the meeting starting at 6.30pm.

Further Details and Background Information can be obtained by visiting the Gateshead & South Tyneside LPC website.
