Pharmacy services and role development in UK general practice: a cross‐sectional survey

International Journal of Pharmacy Practice, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Background The ‘Clinical Pharmacists in General Practice’ (CPGP) pilot provided a template for general practice pharmacy professionals’ (GPPPs) roles encouraging NHS England to fund >2000 practice‐based pharmacists. However, many GPPPs work outside the CPGP initiative and little is known about the services they provide.
