Pharmacy bodies form supervision group ahead of legislation reforms

Seven community pharmacy bodies have come together to form a working group that will explore the “future modelling of practice” as the Government embarks on legislation reform around pharmacy supervision.

The Pharmacy Supervision Practice Group was formed in response to “much discussion relating to current legislation and case law surrounding supervision of community pharmacy practice,” as well as the intention of the Department of Health and Social Care and devolved health departments “to reform current legislation later on this year,” the group explained in a statement on Friday January 27.

Furthermore, the group plans to produce a report that will inform the approach taken by health ministers in the development of future legislation.

Its primary objective is to produce recommendations that are “focused on enhancing patient experience and maintaining patient safety” and enable the community pharmacy workforce to “maximise their skills and professional roles”.
