HLP Criteria Self-assessment

Healthy Living Pharmacy

The requirement for Healthy Living Pharmacies (HLPs) to reassess against the HLP Quality Criteria has moved from every two years to every three years.

This evidenced capability will become increasingly … [Read more...] about HLP Criteria Self-assessment

When we first developed the concept of Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) and evolved the quality criteria there was no Quality Payment Scheme (QPS).

For these pharmacies the key will be ensuring that all the HLP criteria continue to be met in order to maintain the status and thus be able to promote the quality mark. Becoming an accredited HLP is just the beginning, its what HLPs then do differently, bigger and better that will define and differentiate them.
