How we balance new opportunities with our crucial core services
Strategic Direction
The future of community pharmacy in Scotland has never been more exciting, with the skills and accessibility of our teams in such demand to solve various issues in the delivery of modern healthcare.
There are an increasing number of pharmaceutical care services being developed to improve the health outcomes of the people we serve, but how do we balance these new opportunities with the delivery of our crucial core services?
The answer is that we have to think more strategically about how we operate going forward. In 2017 our Board of Directors developed our Vision for the future of community pharmacy in Scotland, which guides our work today.
