Pharmacy First – Reflections one year on
Published on: 31st January 2025 | Updated on: 31st January 2025
As we reach one year since the NHS Pharmacy First service launched, a group of MPs, think tanks, pharmacists and charities have shared their messages for the sector, and the public. The messages show once again the ever-growing support for community pharmacy, with advocates for the sector talking about the need for sustainable funding – as well as the impact that Pharmacy First has already had, and their hopes for what can be achieved in the future.
Community Pharmacy England will continue to work closely with these and other advocates to help build community pharmacy’s future, making the case for investment and support, and cementing its integral role in primary care.
