  Community Pharmacy England is the voice of community pharmacy in England. We champion community pharmacies across the country – representing our members and giving them the support they need, negotiating the best deal with the Government and NHS, and influencing positive change. We represent community pharmacy businesses of all sizes in England and are responsible for negotiating the NHS Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) under which all community pharmacies operate. We work closely with everyone in the community pharmacy sector, including the Local Pharmaceutical Committees (LPCs), to meet our goals and to promote the value of community pharmacy. As Director of NHS Services, Alastair leads a team covering policy and providing support on locally and nationally commissioned community pharmacy services and community pharmacy IT. The team also undertakes monitoring of the wider NHS and healthcare policy environment, ensuring the Committee, Local Pharmaceutical Committees (LPCs) and members are kept abreast of developments which may have an impact on community pharmacy. Alastair is a member of community Pharmacy England’s negotiating team and regularly works with colleagues at NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care on matters relating to his policy responsibilities.
