LPC negotiating training

We are working with PA Consulting to offer LPC representatives the opportunity to take part in negotiating training. Earlier this year, PA Consulting ran a series of successful negotiation training sessions for our Committee members, which were extremely valuable and now we want to extend to all LPCs at no direct cost to you.

PA Consulting is an independent consultancy with extensive experience working across Government and advising on policy making and investment strategy. They will run interactive sessions, which will likely include segments on negotiation psychology theory, negotiation process theory, practical application, followed by an exercise rehearsal for the in-person meeting.

It will be shaped for LPCs, including a focus on the local NHS and Local Government to recognise your important role in negotiating pharmacy services with local commissioners, among others, and the challenges that this brings especially at a time of heightened financial pressure across many local systems.

This  is aimed at LPC members and chairs, although may be of interest to members of the LPC team. This event will cover more of an overview and negotiation theory, strategy and application. There are no restrictions on the number of places per LPC. An on-demand recording will be made of the virtual session that will be made available in the LPC members’ area of our website, throughout 2025 for those unable to attend the live session.
