CPE Vision
Background
Last year Community Pharmacy England commissioned Nuffield Trust and The King’s Fund to develop a Vision for Community Pharmacy.
The creation of a compelling vision and an effective strategy was a key recommendation from the Pharmacy Representation Review Steering Group (RSG) and forms one of the workstreams of the Transforming Pharmacy Representation (TAPR) programme.
A Vision of Community Pharmacy
‘A Vision for Community Pharmacy’ describes how Nuffield Trust and The King’s Fund foresee a transformation of the community pharmacy sector. The report not only sets out how community pharmacies’ role in healthcare could be expanded over the next decade, but also explores the barriers to achieving this, and the enablers which will help make progress towards it.
You can read the report in full, or read the summarised information below.

Next Steps
Engaging Government, the NHS and wider stakeholders on taking forward elements of the Vision will form a key part of Community Pharmacy England’s influencing work in the coming months and they will be using the #PharmaciesOfTomorrow hashtag to highlight this.
