On 31st March 2017, NHS England published Next steps on the NHS Five Year Forward View, which reviews the progress made since the launch of the NHS Five Year Forward View (5YFV) in October 2014 and sets out a series of ‘practical and realistic steps’ for the NHS to deliver a more joined-up and responsive NHS in England.

An online version of the publication is also available on the NHS England website.

This PSNC Briefing summarises the elements of the document that are of most relevance to community pharmacy teams and Local Pharmaceutical Committees.
