Why am I spending so much of my precious time sourcing medication & managing shortages? - it was good to speak to @guardian as part of @ComPharmEngland release of the pressures survey which confirms the worsening impact of the medicines supply situation

[Pharmacist Thorrun Govind @thorrungovind]

We shouldn’t be bearing the brunt of medication not being available.
From yesterday with @Iromg @TalkTV , ahead of the game, but even more pertinent given this headline today. Medicine shortages in England ‘beyond critical’, pharmacists warn’ https://t.co/NEQeBz5leg

[The Pharmaceutical Journal @PJOnline_News]

More than 90% of pharmacies responding to @ComPharmEngland survey say medicines shortages have got worse over the past year #medshortages #UKpharmacy https://t.co/pgg3RAnoEo

[Carolyn Wickware @cbwickware]

Today's @HealthwatchE report on pharmacy services quotes one pharmacist who says "this is the worst it's been" for medicine shortages since 1973.
- 24% of patients reported encountering a shortage in their medicine

More stock shortages & very real impacts

[Professor Liz Breen @LizBreen14]

Medicines shortages continue to stop patients accessing their medicines and cause endless hours of extra work for pharmacy teams. Why have we seen so much disruption and will we see the same in 2024? Our thoughts on this 👇🏻@ConversationUK @UniofBradford

Medicine suppliers in the NHS supply chain in England will be required to submit a sustainability assessment each year from 2024, as part of the NHS's ambition to reach carbon net zero by 2045

Pleased to have my 1st research paper on #drugshortages published on @Pharmacy_MDPI . A huge thank you to @nil1_patel & @ProfDonyai for their support and guidance @UniRdg_PhD @UniRdg_Research @UniRdg_News @UniofReading

Medicines shortages. I’ll be speaking at @pharmacyshow joined by @iethico. #PS23 #shortages

[Pharmacist Thorrun Govind @thorrungovind]

I’m so sorry patients are having to deal with this. Why can’t the government support us to provide 40+30 if 70 of dosage. If @RishiSunak wants to support patients and recognise his healthcare roots then this is a simple task.

The impact of managing shortages was described by @RuckieKahlon in a recent expert roundtable as “demoralising, because it’s just relentless; that treadmill of just not getting anywhere” — but what actions should be taken to improve the situation?

[Professor Liz Breen @LizBreen14]

This is great news for patients relying on these products. Hopefully this will reduce shortages of these lines due to this additional capacity. Roll on mid 2024!

The complexity in our medicines supply chain is challenging and not easily summarised! But, I have tried to and explored this in 2 linked articles, focusing on prescribers and patients in this piece. @UoBPaMS @UniofBradford
