Community Pharmacy Thames Valley represents 324 Community Pharmacy Contractors in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire on all matters relating to community pharmacy, including Essential Services, Advanced Services, Locally Commissioned Services and Applications for new Contracts.
NHS England has revised the monthly targets for Pharmacy First until March 2025.
The Pharmacy Pressures Survey will provide important evidence of the challenges facing the sector and the results will be used to raise awareness in national media and Parliament to demonstrate the impact to the ongoing crisis to the Government and the NHS. It consists of two surveys, with many questions kept similar to last year’s. The surveys take around 10-15 minutes to complete and close on 28th February 2025. See here for more information.
