Why Relationships Matter: Annual Networking Event – 12th July – BOOK NOW!

Join us for Why Relationships Matter: Annual Networking Event

Join community pharmacy colleagues, healthcare partners and system leaders from across Greater Manchester for a day focused on one of the most important drivers of success in today’s NHS: relationships.

As neighbourhood-based healthcare continues to grow, community pharmacy has an opportunity to strengthen its role, build partnerships and develop services that benefit patients and communities.

Join pharmacy leaders and practitioners for practical sessions on relationship-building, service growth and creating new opportunities for your pharmacy.

Following the announcement  that community pharmacies will be able to provide a new NHS MenB vaccination service for eligible school leavers and university entrants from the end of July vaccination expert Fiona Caplan-Dean will be joining us to will share practical insights on:

    • What pharmacies need to know about the new MenB vaccination service
    • How to prepare your pharmacy and team for successful delivery of MenB and other vaccination services
    • What makes a great vaccination service and how to maximise opportunities
    • Engaging patients and increasing uptake

What else to expect on the day:

  • How to Build Great Relationships: practical insights and strategies for developing effective partnerships
  • Building Relationships That Pay: an interactive workshop exploring how collaboration can lead to new opportunities, stronger services and increased revenue
  • Why Relationships Matter: Running a Successful Vaccination Service: real-world examples of how trusted local partnerships can drive service success and improve patient access.
  • Opportunities to network with colleagues, partners and suppliers from across Greater Manchester
  • Updates from your Committee and insights into future priorities for community pharmacy

Whether you’re a pharmacy owner, manager or member of the pharmacy team, you’ll leave with practical ideas, stronger connections and a clearer understanding of how neighbourhood working can help grow services, improve outcomes and unlock future opportunities for community pharmacy.
