Practice Based Commissioning – An update and some local information

Anyone at the Pharmacy Showcase event on Thursday 14th June would have noticed that a lot of the talk was about ‘Practiced Based Commissioning’ (PBC). Words like clusters were mentioned frequently and we talked about pharmacists needed to be involved in these clusters. But having talked to a number of pharmacists after the event, I realise that there is still a great deal of uncertainty around this issue amongst pharmacist. Hopefully this article will clarify what we mean and what you need to do next.
