                              As we celebrate the spirit of the season, we are thrilled to share
                              the many ways that Numark is committed to enhancing the health
                              and wellbeing of our communities. Join us in this festive countdown
                              as we highlight the vital role we collectively play in our patients'
                              health journeys and reaffirm our unwavering dedication to providing
                              accessible, high-quality care for everyone we serve through our
                              12 principles statements.  It is tempting to write the principles to
                              coincide with the “Twelve Days of Christmas” song and as the
                              principles apply all year long, we’ve resisted doing that. However feel
                              free if that gets you in the Christmas spirit!


                                   Community Pharmacy teams will improve population
                             1     health and address increasing healthcare demand as part
                                   of an integrated wider health system.
                                   Community pharmacy will play a vital role in the integrated primary
                                   care team, collaborating closely with GP practices and other
                                   healthcare professionals. By utilizing a shared data platform, they will
                                   provide an expanding array of clinical pharmacy services aimed at
                                   early intervention and enhancing the health of the local population.

                             2     The community pharmacy network will continue to be
                                   critical to local communities.
                                   Community pharmacies are embedded in the neighbourhoods they
                                   serve and are essential for providing safe access to medications, a
                                   broad spectrum of services designed to enhance population health,
                                   and timely healthcare advice. Individuals who utilize community
                                   pharmacy services often report positive experiences with the care
                                   and guidance they receive. The availability of trained healthcare
                                   professionals contributes significantly to the social well-being of the
                                   community.


                             3     Prescribing and supply can take place from the same
                                   community pharmacy premises.
                                   Integrating prescribing and medication supply within a community
                                   pharmacy will streamline the patient experience, leading to a more
                                   efficient process and supporting better health outcomes, all while
                                   ensuring safety through established pharmacy protocols.
