A great couple of days at the party conference at the ICC in Newport, speaking with MSs, MPs, candidates, delegates and conference attendees ahead of the Senedd election in May.
A sincere thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand to discuss community pharmacy in Wales. We appreciated the opportunity to share the fantastic work our network is doing to provide medicines to patients, alongside delivering valuable services such as independent prescribing and the Common Ailments Service. Together, these services play a crucial role in supporting patients and easing pressure on other parts of the NHS, across both primary and secondary care.
We were also pleased to outline the key priorities in our manifesto, including reviewing the funding formula, creating a level playing field for our workforce, ensuring fair access to funding for improvements to clinical facilities, and further developing the role of community pharmacy in preventative health.
We greatly valued the opportunity to highlight how, by working in close partnership with government, we can protect and strengthen the vital role community pharmacies play in delivering healthcare to people and communities across Wales.
