Health on the High Street
Up to HLP forum
HLP features in Health on the High Street launched yesterday by Pharmacy and Public Health Forum via NHS Confederation.
"we would like to see the Healthy Living Pharmacy concept and thinking adopted and accelerated across the country"
"Evaluation of the HLP pathfinder work programme demonstrates that through changing culture and ethos and having health champions on site in premises that are for for purpose for a health promoting environment, HLPs really make a difference to population health locally".
"we recommend ... complementary tools or guides on public health work in pharmacy should be cost effectively produced nationally by Public Health England in collaboration with local areas, using the learning from existing pilots and services"
