Community Pharmacy Strategy Building Session

Our Community Pharmacy Strategy Building Session took place on 10th July 2025 with the aim to start to develop a future strategic approach for community pharmacy.

Fiona Lowe – LPC CEO:
I would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed so enthusiastically to our strategy session for Community Pharmacy and its place within wider system.

We had more than 20 people in the room for the full 3 hours and lunch afterwards. Alongside our LPC members and team we had chief pharmacists from the two acute hospitals, LMC representation, PCN and senior ICB team members as well as our regional CPE rep and CP Pharmacy London CEO. We really do appreciate you giving up your time to support and look forward to working with you all going forward and hopefully seeing many of you at our September meeting. Special thanks to ICS academy facilitators Abby, Dianne and Tony who kept us all on track on what was a very hot day! Many new relationships were built as well as old ones enhanced. There was definitely a positive feeling within the room and willingness to work together for our patients.

Anurag Hegde – LPC Chair:
Further to Fiona’s comments, today’s discussions were really constructive around our ways of working and the direction we’re heading as a healthcare team, and your attendance is greatly appreciated. Let’s continue to build on this momentum by keeping these communication channels open and actively supporting one another as we navigate the broader system changes ahead.
