Recommendation 28

Paragraph: 172
Greater strategic planning needed for the evolving pharmacy workforce and integrated services.
Conclusion
Greater planning and forward thinking continues to be needed around the full pharmacy workforce, accounting for changing roles in the community, increasing demand in hospitals and supporting ICBs to build “one pharmacy workforce” that can be deployed across the full range of pharmacy services within health and social care. As 2026 approaches, when all newly qualified pharmacists will also be independent prescribers, this will become ever more urgent.
