They are hosting a webinar for community pharmacy contractors and community pharmacists interested in becoming a Pathfinder site to find out more about the programme including the expression of interest process that is being led by Integrated Care Boards.

The webinar will take place on Wednesday 25th January 2023 from 7pm – 8pm.
