Policy Quote

"Pharmacy services will be designed around the needs of patients, not organisations, be integrated with other services, make best use of all staff and their skills, and take advantage of modern technologies" (Pharmacy in the Future - Page 7)

Successful delivery of our Key Challenges will help to deliver the following major benefits to our stakeholders.

• Continue to provide payments and prescribing information in the timeframe expected by stakeholders through the operational flexibility which allows us to deal effectively with external pressures.
  
  
• Improved prescribing information quality, accuracy and comprehensiveness derived from operational systems to support clinical and cost-effective prescribing practice.
  
  
• The provision of information to an increasing number of NHS stakeholders to reflect changes to management structures in the wider NHS.
  
  
• Releasing resources for front line patient care through improvements in the efficiency and productivity of our people allied to the introduction of new technology.
  
  
• Greater transparency of decision making (subject to exemptions necessary to protect individuals and the public interest) to improve communications across stakeholder groups.
  
  
• Greater shared understanding with our stakeholders of the operational consequences of proposed policies.
