The reforms of pharmacy in England are novations and replacements

摘要

Since the publication of "Pharmacy in the future" in 2000, the Government has repeatedly pledged to reform the operation of community pharmacies in England. Based on the work of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and other pharmacy bodies, this reform agenda has significantly changed since its inception. In the beginning, the programme was aimed at modernising the existing service by updating the national pharmacy contract and reprofessionalising the pharmacy workforce. At present, the Government's agenda has moved away from the directives of national planning and now focuses on local commissioning.
