CPH Elections – Get Involved and Have Your Voice Represented

The election process for the next CPH committee is getting underway, with the new committee taking office from 1 April 2027.

As your Local Pharmaceutical Committee, CPH represents community pharmacy contractors across Hertfordshire. Our committee plays an important role in representing contractors’ views and interests and contributing to the work that affects community pharmacy locally.

Could you play a role?

We are encouraging contractors to consider getting involved in the election process and, where eligible, standing for election to the 2027/28 CPH committee. Contractors may also wish to consider whether a member of their pharmacy team could stand for election on their behalf.

Being a committee member is an opportunity to bring your experience and perspective from community pharmacy to the table, contribute to discussions about the future of community pharmacy in Hertfordshire, and help ensure that the views and priorities of local contractors are represented.

If you are interested in standing for election, either as a contractor or as a member of a pharmacy team nominated by a contractor, but would like to understand more about what is involved first, please contact us by email at info@cpherts.org.uk and we will arrange an informal conversation about the role, responsibilities and election process.

Please check that we have your correct details

It is important that we have accurate pharmacy, contractor and contact details on our records.

If your circumstances have changed within the last year — for example, you have changed pharmacy, your pharmacy or contractor details have changed, or you are no longer receiving our emails — please contact us so that we can update our records.
