At the end of March 2016 NHS England published their business plan for 2016/17, which describes the organisation’s priorities for the forthcoming year.

The document states that NHS England and its partners have made progress over the last year in bringing the vision of the NHS Five Year Forward View (5YFV) to life and it will continue to be their framework for action over 2016/17. The business plan describes how this will be achieved.

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