Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the February edition of the Pharmacy Show newsletter.

To kick things off, we’ll be taking a look at the long-awaited update on CPCF negotiations.

Then, to mark one year of Pharmacy First in England, we are sharing exclusive seminar recordings from the Pharmacy Show 2024 exploring its impact, challenges, and future in the UK – featuring leading experts from the CCA, Community Pharmacy England, Community Pharmacy Wales, Community Pharmacy Scotland, and more.

Meanwhile, Ramadan begins at the end of the month, meaning that millions will shortly commence a period of fasting. With the holy month around the corner, we’re sharing essential prescribing tips and inviting you to a free webinar workshop to support safe prescribing during the fasting period.

And last but certainly not least, as 2025 programme planning is now underway, we are delighted to introduce our expert advisory board.
