Healthy Living Pharmacy (Including LCC funded programmes referrals form link)
Updated 01/06/2023
The Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) framework is aimed at achieving consistent provision of a broad range of health promotion interventions through community pharmacies to meet local need, improving the health and wellbeing of the local population and helping to reduce health inequalities. Since 2021 it has been an essential service so must be offered by all pharmacies as part of the NHS contract. Work will include signposting, mandatory health campaign(s) and perhaps PQS requirement if you are participating in PQS at your pharmacy.
