Community Pharmacy Scotland

Vision for Community Pharmacy in Scotland

Our Vision sets out what community pharmacy in Scotland should look like in the future, and how our teams can best serve patients, support the NHS, and take a leading role in the delivery of modern healthcare across Scotland.

Community pharmacies will be the first point of contact for people seeking advice and treatment for a wide range of conditions. Our skilled teams will provide accessible, high quality pharmaceutical care, working in partnership with patients, carers, and health and social care professionals to improve health outcomes for the people of Scotland.
CPS Vision for Community Pharmacy in Scotland

Developed by our Board of Directors in 2017, this Vision guides our strategic work today and underpins our engagement with Scottish Government, NHS Scotland, and our wide membership network.

Our Vision complements the Scottish Government's Achieving Excellence in Pharmaceutical Care strategy, and we continue to work closely with Government to ensure both ambitions are realised together.
