Community Pharmacy Scotland
What We Are Working Towards
We aim to continually develop and secure a contractual framework for the provision of pharmaceutical services, supported by a sustainable funding model which encourages investment in the network.
How we do it
We negotiate with the Scottish Government on behalf of our members on all terms of service, remuneration, and reimbursement under the NHS.
An important part of our work is looking to the challenges and opportunities of the future to ensure that our network of community pharmacies is able to respond to rapidly changing demands and working environments. You can read more about the plans for the community pharmacy of tomorrow in our Strategy section.
