@ITVTonight @ITV @PaulBrandITV #ITVTonight just watched this . The underfunding of our local pharmacies is the reason up to 8 are closing per week.
The government are also expecting them to treat patients , before the GP.
It’s like watching the #PostOffice scandal, except worse , our health will suffer !

The situation with atorvastatin supply and prices continues to be shambolic and unpredictable - transparency is required from @DHSCgovuk as community pharmacies cannot be expected to be out of pocket. This is unacceptable and must be sorted. #pharmacy

[Michael Ball @mikejball]

Just an impossible situation that we find ourselves in as community pharmacy contractors. I really don’t know where we go from here, a truly frightening situation we are all in…

[Chemist+Druggist @ChemistDruggist]

An immediate cash injection, separate from expanded services, is needed to help community pharmacy deal with inflation, AIMp chief Dr Leyla Hannbeck (@LeylaHannbeck) has warned. @AIMpharmacies

@PharmRJ Unless for clinical need (as per BNF) then there is no need. Costs the NHS more money in the long run. Should be challenged if forced to. Shortages of Besavar, Betnovate, Clinitas, Zapain (to name just a few) would never have lead to delays for patients or need for alternatives.

[Leyla Hannbeck @LeylaHannbeck]

Atorvastatin is one of the most commonly prescribed #medicines. Its price has been rising leaving community pharmacies who r already struggling financially out of pocket.There are big issues with medicines shortages &high drug costs. It seems @DHSCgovuk have no grip on the issues

[Cookes Chemist @cookeschemist]

@cjarmstrong2 Trend of branded items only available above Tariff. When did this become the normal as well?

[WLNP @WidnesPharmacy]

@DerekTwiggMP @mariaeaglemp @georgehowarthmp Thank you for your support. We hope they also cover the use of 'branded generics' which will decimate the local Pharmacy network if some of the switches are allowed to go ahead. @PatelSuk @HSHK_LPC

The vaccination centre is now closed for the Summer as we have ended the Spring boosters for Covid jabs.

We will reopen for the start of the autumn/winter Flu campaign in September.

Covid-19 and flu are still circulating. If you are aged 50 or over, pregnant or have certain health conditions, you are at higher risk of serious illness from these viruses this winter.

It’s not too late to have your vaccines and protect yourself

Happy New Year! 2022 was tough but our fantastic staff have made the most of a NHS on its knees. With your support in 2023 we can continue to provide for our community.

Your local community pharmacy is under threat, and here's why a 🧵
1/8
The @DHSCgovuk has consistently been reducing the funding that your local pharmacy gets over the last few years. Currently this has been reduced in excess of 25%, and is approaching 35%

[Cookes Chemist @cookeschemist]

This week the health clinic will be available for Covid Vaccinations 10am to 11am until Friday every day. No appointment necessary.

[Martin @wickerpharm]

@kassimkurji @cjarmstrong2 @PSNCNews It’s just not acceptable. In the short-term all quota products should attract an additional fee from outside the global sum while DHSC pressurise manufacturers to supply in a normal manner dealing with exporters as a separate issue. @DHSCgovuk @davidwebb_1 @BruceWarner
