Welcome to the website of Community Pharmacy Hertfordshire providing support, guidance and advice to community pharmacy within Hertfordshire. It is our vision that community pharmacies are an integrated and equal partner in the health and care landscape for the benefit of patients. Our full strategic plan and workstreams are available on our committee pages.
Following the launch of NHS England’s (NHSE) ‘Think Pharmacy first’ campaign and promotional materials are now available for pharmacy teams to use.
We are holding a Making a success of your pharmacy services event on Wednesday, 3 July 2024, 7.00-10.00pm at the Fielder Centre in Hatfield. This is your chance to come and hear about the future of community pharmacy, and the opportunity to hear and share best practice to help you deliver successful key services e.g. pharmacy first, contraception and hypertension case-finding. A full agenda will follow in due course. This event incorporates the CPH Annual General Meeting where you can hear about the work we have undertaken in the last year. Reserve your place now!
Pharmacies across Hertfordshire deliver excellent customer care every day, yet often we fail to stop and celebrate the successes you achieve. Community Pharmacy Hertfordshire is proud to host our Awards Ceremony to recognise the great work and service provided in pharmacies. Who can enter? ALL pharmacy contractors in Hertfordshire. Put your nomination in today!
