Annual lecture – Pharmacy in 21st Century NHS

In June 2023, Harry McQuillan, the chief executive of Community Pharmacy Scotland, gave a lecture at an event jointly organised by University College London School of Pharmacy, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and National Pharmacy Association.

He took as his theme, Community Pharmacy in the 21st Century NHS. He argued that pharmacy is potentially on the cusp of clinical transformation and looked forward to tech-enabled community pharmacies keeping people well at home using prescribed, tailored medicines.  Pharmacist prescribing, he said, would be a key factor ensuring that community pharmacy will remain a critical partner in healthcare delivery.

The NPA is pleased to have jointly created this event, as part of our ongoing programme of thought-leadership for community pharmacy in the UK.
