About PACT
Community Pharmacies Working in Partnership.
Population Health
Multi-disciplinary Teams
Evaluation
Primarycare And Community Together (PACT) is an Innovative Social Enterprise which will support Community Pharmacies in Northern Ireland delivering local health service initiatives in partnership with GP Federations, Health Trusts, Community and Voluntary organisations and Councils
The establishment of Primary Care Multi-disciplinary teams is a key part of the ‘Health and Wellbeing 2026: Delivering Together’ vision. These teams represent an exciting opportunity to deliver a radically different approach to primary care – one based on multi-disciplinary teams embedded around general practice.
Through various Quality Improvement projects we can demonstrate that through PACT, community pharmacy has developed an elegant solution for GP federations and Trusts to partner and work across boundaries with other community providers.
​
PACT has developed a population approach for community pharmacy where the assets within the entire network of community pharmacies can be effectively utilised.
PACT AT A GLANCE

PACT has developed a "new model of care" for the community pharmacy network which includes a PACT pharmacist representing all the community pharmacies in the locality.
​
Local health care is changing and a model is developing for Primary Care Teams embedded in General Practice. PACT provides a solution for community pharmacy integration into these teams.
PACT has partnered with the Medicines Optimisation Innovation Centre (MOIC) to evaluate all the projects being developed.
