Speaking out against damaging cuts

摘要

In May 2015,1 wrote to The Pharmaceutical Journal proposing that the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) should hold a 'Five year forward view' conference to showcase how innovation in community pharmacy could deliver for the NHS. I pointed out that the Royal College of General Practitioners had done a fantastic job making the case for increased investment in general practice. The RPS, in its professional leadership role, is ideally placed to highlight and synergise best practice in community pharmacy, and help assure a future for the sector and benefits for patients. The RPS did nothing.
