This PSNC Briefing summarises NHS England’s document The multispecialty community provider (MCP) emerging care model and contract framework (July 2016), which describes MCPs – a new place-based model of care – and the emerging contract framework which NHS England is currently developing to support the rollout of this approach to health and care provision.

It is expected that many MCPs will develop over the next few years and pharmacy contractors and LPCs therefore need to engage in their development in order to shape how they will impact on community pharmacy services at a local level.
