At the end of March 2014 NHS England published a refreshed business plan – Putting Patients First Business plan 2014-15 to 2016-17 – which describes the organisation’s plans for the next two years. The business plan builds on Everyone Counts: Planning for Patients 2014/15 to 2018/19, NHS England’s earlier planning guidance for the healthcare system, which was published in December 2013. Within the business plan long-term ambitions are described, medium-term objectives and the specific deliverables NHS England expects to achieve over the next year.

This PSNC Briefing summarises the elements of the plan which are of most relevance to community pharmacy.
