Join us in person in Edinburgh on Thursday 24th September for a contractor only evening looking at national updates and where the financial negotiations stand.
Our Contractor Engagement Evenings exist for one reason: to get CPS and contractors in the same room. The agenda matters, but so does the conversation around it. These evenings are where we hear what is actually happening in your pharmacies, and where you can put your questions directly to the team representing you.

Please note: this is a contractor only event. If you are unable to attend yourself, you can nominate a colleague from your business to attend in your place. Just let us know their name when you register.
The hotel sits next to the Edinburgh Park tram and rail stops, roughly a two minute walk, and there is free on site parking - please ensure to validate your vehicle on arrival. If you are driving, satnav systems work best with the postcode EH11 4DG rather than the postal address.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
This is a contractor only event. It is open to community pharmacy contractors in Scotland and to the person within your business who holds responsibility for its commercial and financial decisions.
If you are unsure whether your role qualifies, or you would like to send a colleague in your place, get in touch at enquiries@cps.scot and we will confirm.
-
The evening is built around two items: a National Update covering service developments and the work CPS is progressing with Scottish Government and NHS Scotland, and an update on the Financial Negotiations.
Both sessions include time for questions. There is no formal presentation running the full length of the evening, and the discussion is as much a part of the agenda as the update itself.

You can register using the link on the event page. Places are limited, so we would encourage you to book early rather than leave it until closer to the date.
Once you have registered you will receive a confirmation email with the venue and travel details. If your plans change and you can no longer make it, let us know at enquiries@cps.scot so we can offer your place to another contractor.
