A ‘possible pharmacy crisis?’ It seems @ITV has missed the countless stories published in the pharmacy press over the years about the threat to pharmacy as a result of poor government funding. And here’s a news alert for ITV: pharmacy has been on the #NHS frontline for some time.
1. We know from @ONS which groups have have the highest CVD mortality. We can see from #CVDprevent , how many have uncontrolled CVD risk factors and can monitor these numbers over time. Eg about 500K people in Deprivation quintile 1 currently have BP not treated to target.
As we head into the festive weekend & spend time with friends & family, let’s take simple measures to protect ourselves & our loved ones from Covid & other viral infections. Thanks @itvlondon for having me on & thanks Duncan for interviewing me #staysafe#peaceonearth

The Community Pharmacy Blood Pressure Check Scheme is an incredibly important part of our work to reduce cardiovascular mortality. It can really help us to reduce health inequalities. #ZeroCVD
A great visit today to @rohpharm to meet the excellent staff who will be delivering Pharmacy First. Thank you! 🙏
Highly skilled pharmacists are perfectly placed to provide a variety of different treatments and medicines in locations convenient for patients.
At our meeting with @DHSCgovuk minister @andrealeadsom at the innovative Rohpharm pharmacy run by the amazing @jignesh263 we were able to hand over the @NPA1921 vision for the future of pharmacy in England called Making changes, meeting needs #pharmacy#nhs
More from today's visit by @andrealeadsom to NPA member @jignesh263's pharmacy, witnessing firsthand the incredible work dedicated pharmacy teams deliver in their local communities.

New Minister for primary care @andrealeadsom ‘s message to pharmacy teams: “Thanks for the brilliant work you do”. With @jignesh263 and NPA chief @PaulReesMBE in East London today.
Fantastic collaborativeworkshop tonight as our Community Pharmacy Provider Gp @NHS_NELondon discusses ideas to reduce the impact of meds shortages & make things easier for our residents. Lots to take forward for pharmacy, GPs, ICB. TY @ShilpaS76@boohar@jignesh263 and everyone!
Really worth looking at the new improved #CVDPrevent. The Insights tab makes it so much easier to get a really good picture of CVD risk factor management.
It’s been brilliant to see so many pharmacists focussing on #CVDPrevention. CVD claims 136,000 lives a year and is the largest cause of health inequalities. Not only is CVD prevention strongly evidence based, it works really quickly. @davidwebb_1@jignesh263@Pharma2wit
