Excellent event and delighted to be on Medicine Optimisation reducing Health Inequalities panel to highlight how community pharmacy is able to reduce health inequalities. Well done to @vanessasburg & @amit80_patel for flying the pharmacy flag. @ComPharmEngland@NHSEngland

We need to have a more constructive fee structure which motivates CPs to deliver in the absence of GP referrals. In this case one size does not fit. £1K for 10 PFs, £2K for 20PFs & £3K for 30PFs. @NHSEngland@davidwebb_1@NPA1921 CPs need this funding to remain open!

This is a major safety incident not of community pharmacy’s making. And yet we are expected to run audits, About time that all healthcare professionals dealt with one patient record held on @nhsapp or a smart card. Where is the RCA? @NHSEngland What have we learned from it?

As Chair of the #Pharmacy all-party group, I was very happy to join the sector in delivering their petition to 10 Downing Street today.
This new government values community pharmacy and sees its potential for healthcare prevention, as well as for critical medicines supply.
Delighted our 2nd #SaveOurPharmacies day of action made a huge impact - we were on Radio 4's Today programme, BBC1 Breakfast News, ITV's Good Morning Britain, Channel 4 News, Channel 5 News, in all the national press, and led a cross-sector delegation to No 10 with our petition.
Many pharmacies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland could cut their opening hours in protest over government funding, if a "work-to-rule" ballot passes.

The reality of being a community pharmacist, constantly trying to figure how to keep the pharmacy open with limited funding. @wesstreeting@NHSEngland@DHSCgovuk CP need really funding solutions now.
Thanks to @GMB for highlighting our analysis of the crisis in #pharmacy. Pharmacies provide amazing local health services for the #NHS - and could do so much more - but are chronically underfunded and shocking numbers are closing #saveourpharmacies
Delighted to showcase community pharmacy with Atul and highlight what is possible and what is not-due to chronic under funding. @rpharms@NHSEngland@davidwebb_1 low GP referrals into Pharmacy First an issue in @SELondonICS@ComPharmEngland
Great visit to Lincoln Pharmacy with Atul an @rpharms member for over 39 years. Putting community at the heart of community pharmacy with robotic dispensing and pharmacist prescribing.
