Find out how to get involved in our consultations where you’ll get the opportunity to give feedback and help shape our work.
We work collaboratively with a wide range of people to make pharmacy a safe place for everyone.
Working with a wide range of people means we get to hear the views of everyone with an interest in pharmacy services. This helps us to understand the issues and topics that matter to people.
We listen to and learn from everyone interested in pharmacy services so that we can:
- have a good understanding of key issues within pharmacy that affect patient safety, public confidence and health inequalities.
- respond quickly and effectively to emerging issues.
- meet our commitment to work in partnership with patients, carers and members of the public.
