Why this Event – Why Me, Why Now?

Stronger collaboration between community pharmacy and general practice is vital to the success of the NHS and the planned creation of a neighbourhood health service. When these professions work together, they combine unique clinical and medicine knowledge to increase access, improve patient care, open new business and service opportunities, and release capacity to deliver more proactive, preventative care.

Both sectors are under unprecedented pressure, with ongoing financial strain and rising patient demand, and neither can afford to face these challenges alone. This new, silo-busting event provides a platform for healthcare professionals to share ideas and best practice, build stronger relationships and learn how they can capitalise on the inevitable shift of care out of hospitals and into the community.

Hosted by the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) and Cogora — publishers of The Pharmacist, Pulse, and Pulse PCN — the Community Pharmacy and General Practice Conference brings together 1,000+ primary care professionals for two days of real-world learning, implementable ideas, and meaningful relationship building.
