Does new contract mean end of IPS?

摘要

How will the new pharmacy contract affect local pharmaceutical services? This seemed to be an important question for participants attending a session at the British Pharmaceutical Conference entitled "LPS in action".Participants first heard about the experiences of two pharmacists involved in LPS - Riaz Esmail,a community pharmacist from Harrow,Middlesex (see PJ,3/10 January,p!9) and Nicola Roe,pharmacy service development manager for Rowlands (see PJ,17 April,p473) - and then Juliette Kendall,project manager of the team evaluating LPS in England and research fellow at the University of Manchester,gave her views on the opportunities and obstacles that it poses.
