A new report has been published exploring opportunities for greater collaborative working between community pharmacy, primary care networks (PCNs) and federations within integrated care systems (ICSs). The report summarises the talking points and recommendations from a July 2021 roundtable, hosted by the NHS Confederation’s PCN Network, Primary Care Federation Network, National Pharmacy Association and Primary Care Pharmacy Association. It says community pharmacy is an integral part of the NHS and has a vital role to play as a full partner within a PCN.
