APPG on Pharmacy - Meeting - 17th December 2024

On Tuesday 17th December 2024, we held the first of two meetings on the ‘Future of Community Pharmacy’.

Our Chair, Steve Race MP, Vice-Chairs, Sadik Al-Hassan MP and Lord Scriven, as well as members of the Group heard from Rebecca Curtayne (External Affairs Manager Healthwatch), Alex Morton (Group Director for Primary Care & Community Services Delivery and Support, NHS England), Dr Ankit Kant (Member, General Practitioners Committee England, British Medical Association (BMA)) at the meeting.

The outputs from this meeting will feed into the development of a recommendations led policy paper, setting out a vision for community pharmacy. This paper will be published following the second meeting on this topic in the new year.
