Ensure national and ICB workforce planning establishes appropriate skill mix in all pharmacy settings.
Recommendation
We further recommend that any workforce planning, be it at a national or ICB level, should ensure the appropriate and safe and mix of skills in all settings, including hospital wards as highlighted by Dr James Davies of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. This should include consideration of the need for more than one pharmacist per community pharmacy in relation to the delivery of initiatives such as Pharmacy First. (Paragraph 174) 48 Pharmacy
