Healthy Living Pharmacies - the next steps

Devon Local Pharmaceutical Committee (LPC) knows what a difference Healthy Living Pharmacies (HLP) can make to the health and wellbeing of the communities they serve, to pharmacy businesses and all in the pharmacy team. We have been fully supporting Devon contractors to achieve their HLP status [190 so far in Devon] and want to go further.

We are delighted to be running a workshop to help all Devon pharmacies make the most of their HLP quality mark; using it to further engage with the community and commissioners. For those yet to accredit or requiring guidance on maintaining their accreditation, we will be covering some of the basics too. Pharmacy Complete have produced a promo video explaining about HLP and why you should attend. To view the video

• why HLP is the right thing to do - the context and benefits for all

• sustaining leadership behaviours to drive performance
• what next for HLP - becoming an HLP is the beginning; how to enable a healthier future
