@JScottUoB @rc_pharm @ChemistDruggist I’ve made so many staff members and students aware of the teachings and guidance of the NSP programme; especially about about making sure we aren’t limiting supplies etc, all thanks to your inspiration when I was at uni Jenny!

Please consider the time it takes for pharmacies to process, order and assemble your medicines too. If it takes 2-3 days for a GP, that's the minimum additional days needed on average for pharmacy teams.

Interesting reading @TheGPhC annual report. Their employees, amongst other things, are able to enrol on the NHS pension scheme. How so? Community pharmacy teams, despite actually helping over 1m people with healthcare needs each and every day, do not get access to this @SKinnock

Nystan is being discontinued, with the only generic alternative costing nearly 5 times the price. Why is the NHS being forced to pay over the top for medicines? #Debranding

I don’t know how much it actually costs in terms of the service

[Bee @_pharmabee]

In Devon we can do it for free for 13-24 year olds (it might be 14-24 I think), easily claimable on pharm outcomes

🚨 NEW: The Government will soon announce that the morning-after pill will be given out for free at pharmacies

@raffaella_w And then there’s the good ‘ole leech and larvae therapy

Whilst in Pharmacy land....

[Bee @_pharmabee]

Not that I would ever complain about being given gifts from patients and customers but as someone who can’t eat chocolate much anymore this was much more enjoyable

[Bee @_pharmabee]

Someone bought these in yesterday and honestly was such a nice change from the chocolates we are given

[Bee @_pharmabee]

@GrahamStretch I think so. No ETPs and can’t even get receptionists to patch me through to doctors to check the dose on the handwritten Rx because they can’t get the numbers

[Bee @_pharmabee]

Another GP system outage and the influx of FP10s has begun

[Bee @_pharmabee]

sit on the phone: number 8 in the queue or email and never get it replied to and when you finally get hold of the GP pharmacist it’s oh we don’t look at our emails. How am I meant to contact you? GP practice to community pharmacy communication needs to improve

[Bee @_pharmabee]

Also spent all week chasing a rx for a change in a bluster pack (initiated by GP not change from hospital/DMS) and then having the patient call us asking when we’re sending the extra meds. ,,, I can’t get hold of the drs to get a new rx

[Bee @_pharmabee]

Dr was already huffy as had to call me after I said no to case worker bc I’d need to contact prescriber

[Bee @_pharmabee]

If you contacted a prescriber after a 3+ day miss on an FP10MDA and they said it was fine to carry on dispensing would you ask for email confirmation for a paper trail? Did that today and the Dr acted like I’d asked for their firstborn

[Bee @_pharmabee]

huffed and said they’d get the receptionist to do it as they were leaving the office for the weekend (it was 4pm)
