Supporting Derbyshire's Pharmacies

Welcome to the Derbyshire LPC website. We represent all pharmacy contractors in Derbyshire (City and County) Amongst our many roles at present our priority is to ensure that with all the changes in NHS structure, commissioners are aware of community pharmacy and the services we can provide. The Chief Officer, chair and members attend various meetings to promote our profession across the area. - these include those of the CCG's and the Health & Wellbeing Boards.

The LPC aim to keep contractors up to date with services by keeping the information on this website up to date and by sending updates via email.
