Local Practice Forum (LPF) is a term that was first
used in the prospectus for the localisation of the new professional
body. In essence the forums will be the local structure that
will exist in the professional leadership body (PLB) to bring
together pharmacists from across all sectors and be where many of
the services offered by the PLB will be
delivered.

Forums.
The names for each of the five LPFs in Scotland
were signed off in principle by the Scottish Pharmacy Board at
their first meeting of the year. However the overarching
principle of LPFs is "for members, by members", so are still
subject to member approval. Please see the table below for
details.
