What We Do:

Community Pharmacy Scotland (CPS) is a member organisation that represents community pharmacy owners and their teams throughout Scotland. We act as a voice for these vital healthcare professionals as they deliver pharmaceutical care services to the people of Scotland on behalf of NHS Scotland, in line with national and local priorities.

At CPS, we aim to continually develop and secure a contractual framework for the provision of pharmaceutical services, supported by a sustainable funding model that encourages investment in the network. We achieve this by negotiating with the Scottish Government on behalf of our members on all terms of service, remuneration, and reimbursement under the NHS.

Community pharmacy owners are independent contractors whose businesses make up a diverse network of primary care providers. Their teams are experts in medicines and are highly trained healthcare professionals who provide advice on preventing and managing ill health. Increasingly, community pharmacies are the first port of call for people experiencing minor illnesses and managing diagnosed long-term conditions. All Scottish community pharmacies offer core NHS services designed to meet these needs, often complemented by local services that address more specific issues within each Health and Social Care Partnership.

CPS is made up entirely of members and is supported by a team of employees based at our Queen Street offices in Edinburgh. The team acts under the direction of the CPS Board and Council.
