  6. Purpose of Pharmacy CtA? NHS England is working to develop a plan for future primary care services. As part of that it wants to secure community pharmacy services that: • deliver great outcomes; • are cost effective; • reach into every community; and • make the most of pharmacists’ expertise and pharmacy’s unique accessibility

  7. How will this be achieved? By stimulating debate in local communities, the CTA will: • shape local strategies for community pharmacy; and • inform NHS England’s national approach to commissioning community pharmacy services

  8. What is planned locally? • The NHS England Area Team will host a local discussion event prior to mid-March for: • Everyone who works in community pharmacy • Clinical Commissioning Groups • Commissioning Support Units • Community trusts and hospital trusts • Health and Wellbeing Boards and Local Authorities • Patients, carers and local Healthwatch • Area team staff, including LPN chairs • Local Education & Training Board • Academic Health Science Networks • Each Area Team will develop its own engagement plans

  9. What will happen nationally? • NHS England will work closely with a range of national partners including: • Key pharmacy organisations (RPS, PSNC, PV……) • the Department of Health • Public Health England • Health Education England • Local Government Association • Patient Groups • Employers • Pharmacy Educators to develop its strategic approach to commissioning community pharmacy services

  10. Why it matters • Following the CTA, NHS England will publish more detail on how it plans to commission community pharmacy services nationally • This will link to its approach to commissioning general practice and other services

  11. Why it matters • ‘Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity’ to persuade the NHS of the credibility of community pharmacies as providers of services, commissioned at national or local level • The results of the CTA will determine policy on future commissioning of community pharmacy services • It is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss!

  12. Why really it matters……. • We all recognise that the use of medicines is sub optimal. Community Pharmacy can play a significant role in supporting patients to get more from their medicines……LTC’s • Community Pharmacy can play a significant role in supporting patients and the public with public health issues………Health-Social care • Urgent and Emergency Care Review.

  14. NHS England’s 4 Questions • How can we create a culture where the public in England are aware of and utilise fully the range of services available from their local community pharmacy now and in the future? • How can the way we commission services from community pharmacy maximise the potential for community pharmacy to support patients to get more from their medicines?

  15. NHS England’s 4 Questions • How can we better integrate community pharmacy services into the patient care pathway? • How can the use of a range of technologies increase the safety of dispensing?
