Key Messages / Information for Discussion with PCN Colleagues and GPs

Community Pharmacy West Yorkshire has produced a Key Messages document that collates the frequent topics that the LPC and LMCs have discussed and the key messages / information for each topic. The information is provided to assist understanding and support local conversations with PCN Colleagues and GP Practices. The topics are ones that are known to impact on community pharmacy and where improved collaboration with GPs would reduce the impact and workload for community pharmacy. You may wish to use this document or the messages within the document to support your local PCN and GP practice conversations. Using this resource will also help in creating consistent messages for patients.
