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

Welcome to our website

We are the unified local voice for Community Pharmacy Surrey and Community Pharmacy Sussex. We work with NHS England Area Teams, Local Authorities, ICBs 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 just under 500 local pharmacies across Sussex and Surrey.

Resources A-Z

Here you will find a comprehensive list of advice, hints, tips and links to help you manage your NHS contract.

Our Newsletter

We always send our newsletters and regular mailings to pharmacy NHS mail accounts. However, we recognise that our news is relevant to all pharmacy staff, not just the person who opens the emails! So urge all team members to sign up to receive our news.

What do you want raised at your next LPC meeting?

Both Community Pharmacy Surrey & Community Pharmacy Sussex would like to raise and discuss issues that concern you at their next meeting. If you have anything you would like raised at this meeting please complete the survey monkey link below. LPC meetings are open to observers and we especially encourage community pharmacy contractors and their team members to join us and find out what we do. Should you wish to attend an LPC meeting as an observer in person or by video, this needs to be pre-arranged. Email us at: LPC@communitypharmacyss.co.uk.

#SaveOurPharmacies - We need your help to save pharmacies in England

How you can help! Since 2015, there has been a net loss of 720 pharmacies across England – unfortunately a vast proportion of these permanent closures have occurred in the most deprived parts of England. Without your help, further pharmacy closures are inevitable. We urgently need your support to push the Government to provide the necessary funding to keep pharmacies afloat. Sign the petition and find out how else you can help by clicking on the link.
