Representing, supporting, developing and promoting NHS Community Pharmacy in Surrey and Sussex

We are the unified local voice for the three local pharmaceutical committees (LPCs) in Surrey, East Sussex and West Sussex.

We work with NHS England Area Teams, Local Authorities, CCGs and other healthcare professionals to help plan healthcare services.

We negotiate and discuss pharmacy services with commissioners and give advice to community pharmacy contractors and others wanting to know more about the 515 local pharmacies across Sussex and Surrey.
