At the end of January 2019, NHS England published a five-year framework for GP services agreed with the British Medical Association (BMA) General Practitioners Committee (GPC) in England and supported by Government. It implements commitments in the NHS Long Term Plan for changes to the GP contract and sets the direction for primary care for the next five years.

This PSNC Briefing sets out a summary of the key aspects of the framework, which are of most relevance to community pharmacy teams and Local Pharmaceutical Committees.
