7 of services.

Whilst medicines supply will remain core, as the funding envelopes
grow, an increasing proportion of the funding will support the delivery of
pharmacy services, ensuring good access to healthcare from a vital, local,
community pharmacy network. As their role evolves Pharmacy Technicians
will take a lead role in the supply and administration of vaccinations.

8 Community Pharmacy will undertake a wider and more
comprehensive role in preventative, urgent and acute care.
Community pharmacy will play a leading role in helping their local
populations to stay well through the provision of services that prevent the
onset of primary conditions and secondary complications. This includes
opportunistic interventions, disease state monitoring, health checks, ill
health prevention through services such as weight management, smoking
cessation support and vaccinations. They will also support people in
the treatment of common conditions ensuring quick access to clinically
appropriate medicines. Access to all of these services will make an
important contribution to reducing health inequalities by supporting a
focus on prevention, early detection, early intervention and treatment.

9 The public will have access to a consistent offer of NHS
funded care across all pharmacies, reserving some local
commissioning decisions for local patient needs.
All community pharmacies will provide a fundamental set of services that
address national needs, enhancing access and continuity while ensuring
the population is well-informed about what is available.
