The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and Community Pharmacy England (CPE) agree funding increase over two years

Today (31st March 2025), following a six-week consultation between DHSC and CPE, a new pharmacy funding deal has been confirmed that will benefit patients.

Kevin Heath, Pharmacy2U CEO comments,

“This funding boost and the commitment to expanding pharmacy services are encouraging developments for the industry. The integration of pharmacy-led services, such as blood pressure checks and access to contraception, highlights the vital role pharmacists play in supporting the NHS and improving patient outcomes. While this funding will provide much-needed relief, it is essential that ongoing investment and innovation continue to ensure the sustainability and accessibility of pharmacy services for all.”

At Pharmacy2U, we remain committed to delivering accessible, efficient, and high-quality pharmacy services to patients across the UK to put them in control of their healthcare. As the sector evolves, we will continue to champion innovation to support the NHS and the wider healthcare system in providing essential care to communities nationwide.
