The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Local
Pharmaceutical Committee (LPC)
represents the interests of Pharmacy Contractors in Cambridgeshire
and Peterborough,
through:
-
regular communications
with Contractors on key issues
-
discussions with
other Healthcare Groups to promote Pharmacy & local Contractors
-
support for the
introduction of new Pharmacies to enhance the health of the local
population
-
support to the
development of new local pharmaceutical services
The LPC maintains regular close contact with
the Primary Care Trusts (PCTs). LPC members are
to be found on policy making bodies within the PCT for Healthcare
services to the County. The LPC also maintains regular links
with GPs both through the Local Medical Committee and the
PCOs.
The LPC also represents pharmacy to the
Community Health Councils, the local Members of Parliament, and is often
called upon to provide spokespeople for the local media.
Whilst dispensing of prescriptions will remain as the core function of
all pharmacies, the provision of Healthcare advice and other services
will become increasingly important. The LPC is at the heart of all
local initiatives that meet this need.
The LPC is an elected body with a
composition that reflects the makeup of the profession in Community
Pharmacy.
