Help Steer the Future of Pharmacy

Pharmacy owners across Devon are invited to take part in a ‘Future of Pharmacy’ workshop to inform next steps for the sector.

Senior figures from Community Pharmacy England are heading to Stoke Gifford, near Bristol, on the evening of Tuesday 22nd July to discuss pressing issues and plans for the future with local pharmacy owners (or their representatives). The workshop will explore the impact of the recent CPCF deal, the ongoing issues you face, and the possible tactics to try and win over policymakers.

This is a great opportunity to get involved in CPE’s preparations for the 2026/27 CPCF negotiations and work with them to map out a clearer way forward for the sector.

Sian Retallick, local independent pharmacy owner and Regional Representative for the South West, will also be there to listen into discussions and share her ambitions for the future.

The event agenda will cover:

  • The impact of the CPCF settlement for 2025/26;
  • Challenges community pharmacies are continuing to face;
  • Pharmacy’s place in the NHS 10-Year Health Plan;
  • Preparations for 2026/27 negotiations; and
  • How best to support community pharmacies to plan for the future.

Chairs and Chief Officers from all six LPCs in the South West will meet with CPE earlier in the day provide local context on national issues and raise any specific concerns.

Make a difference: meet with CPE on 22nd July.
