We want to share our deepest thanks for your unwavering dedication this year. While there have been significant financial and operational pressures, it has also been a year where the true value of community pharmacy has never been clearer.

Despite the hurdles, Community Pharmacy Hertfordshire has worked tirelessly to champion your role. In 2025, we have:
1) Strengthened our influence with local commissioners and stakeholders to ensure Hertfordshire pharmacies are central to local health planning.
2) Supported clinical growth, successfully embedding Pharmacy First and preparing pharmacies for Independent Prescribing in the future.
3) Launched our 2025–2028 Strategy, providing a clear roadmap to advocate for the sustainable funding and professional recognition you deserve.

We look forward to continuing to support our Hertfordshire pharmacies in 2026 and don't forget - If you need a pharmacy on New Years Day, make sure to use the Find a Pharmacy webpage: https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/pharmacy/find-a-pharmacy/
