Established in 1921, the National Pharmacy Association is a trade association which serves community pharmacy by representing, supporting and protecting members across all four countries of the UK.
Using the strength of one united voice the NPA can influence UK wide decisions taken by other bodies, government bodies and agencies and to represent the interests of our members to the European Parliament
As a UK wide trade association for community pharmacy, our mission is focused on ensuring our members, pharmacy owners, prosper commercially and professionally in the new environment of an integrated role in preventative healthcare and the treatment of illness.
The NPA philosophy:
To represent - The NPA represents community pharmacy in order to expand the overall market opportunity for community pharmacy. This is achieved through the development of policy in conjunction with its members, the delivery of underpinning evidence in support of that policy and the powerful communication of that policy and members' interests to the EU, UK Government, other healthcare professionals and the general public.
To support - The NPA supports members in their businesses through the provision of high quality, cost effective and relevant support services that either increase revenue opportunities or reduce costs for members in order that their businesses are able to maximise profitability.
To protect - The NPA protects the interests of its members through the provision of high quality, cost effective professional indemnity insurances, other insurances and legal advice to protect members professionally and commercially from adverse events.
