LPCs, contractors and the national pharmacy organisations have been working hard in recent months to make the case for community pharmacy, following the letter of 17th December 2015 in which a range of proposals for community pharmacy were set out.

The sector has built support from a range of stakeholders and particularly from MPs, a number of whom spoke in support of community pharmacy in a debate on the Government’s proposals. The consultation on the changes has now been extended until 24th May 2016, and this briefing sets out some actions that LPCs may wish to consider during that extended period.
