The GPhC has published its strategic plan 2016-19. The plan summarises what we see as the key challenges for pharmacy and what the GPhC’s role should be in responding to those challenges on behalf of patients and the public. It builds on our previous strategic plan 2015-18 and takes into account external developments across Great Britain.
It sets out our ambition to play a key part in helping pharmacy professionals and the pharmacy sector as a whole to improve quality in pharmacy practice and ultimately health and wellbeing in England, Scotland and Wales.
Four key strategic aims have been identified for 2016-19 to help us to achieve this:
-
Delivering efficient and effective regulatory services
-
Ensuring the pharmacy team is able to meet the needs of patients now and in the future
-
Using the knowledge gained from our regulatory services and from our work with others in order to promote improvement in the quality of pharmacy care and services
-
Enhancing our understanding of issues, risks and opportunities in pharmacy so that pharmacy regulation is flexible and adapts quickly to the needs of patients and to the risks within the sector
The plan also outlines the key actions the GPhC will take to help to achieve these aims.
