Community Pharmacy England

Community Pharmacy England We are the representative body for all community pharmacy owners in England. We are the voice of community pharmacy in England.

We champion community pharmacies across the country – representing our members and giving them the support they need, negotiating the best deal with the Government and NHS, and influencing positive change. We represent community pharmacy businesses of all sizes in England and are responsible for negotiating the NHS Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) under which all community pharmacies operate. We work closely with everyone in the community pharmacy sector, including the Local Pharmaceutical Committees (LPCs), to meet our goals and to promote the value of community pharmacy. Because everyone in society needs community pharmacy to thrive.
