Vision and Strategy
The GPhC Council began to discuss their vision and strategy at the beginning of 2010. The Council discussed their vision, values and the key themes during their first two years of operation over a six month period.
The Council have identified twenty four strategic objectives under three key themes of work. The vision and strategy document was agreed in June 2010.
Introduction
The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) is the regulator for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy premises. It is our job to protect, promote and maintain the health, safety and wellbeing of patients and the public who use pharmaceutical services.
The GPhC is a newly established regulator that will take over regulation of pharmacy professionals and pharmacy premises from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. This document sets out our purpose and vision for the future. These are underpinned by our core values. We have also identified our strategic objectives during
the first two years of operation.
Our Purpose
We will protect and promote the health and safety of patients and the public by assuring the maintenance and development of safe and effective pharmacy practice in Great Britain. We will also contribute to the continued development of trust and confidence in pharmacy by patients and the public and other health professionals.
