@LilianGreenwood@cpnotts Thank you for you and your colleagues time and the opportunity to discuss such important issues and opportunities for the future.
@iPothecary
Delighted to organise a roundtable with reps from Nottinghamshire Community Pharmacy @cpnotts for Labour colleagues from across our county.
Insightful discussion around the issues pharmacies are facing and what changes are needed to better support their work in our communities.
Our chief officer @NickHunter19 and chair @iPothecary met with MPs at Westminster today, they called for an urgent uplift in core funding and spoke about the potential of a properly funded community pharmacy sector. Thanks to @LilianGreenwood for taking the time to organise
Community Pharmacy England briefed 45 Parliamentarians and their teams on the community pharmacy sector and the unsustainable pressures it faces during a drop-in event at the Houses of Parliament. Members of the Community Pharmacy England Committee, Policy Team and LPC leaders were pleased to welcome these MPs, along with several others who dropped by.
Protests and violent disorder are affecting some towns and cities across England and this may have an impact on the ability of community pharmacies to operate.
We have issued some practical advice for pharmacy owners and teams👇 https://t.co/wawFtGs7it
Mike Jones, our Services Implementation Lead, is down in London today with Amanda Alamanos, Engagement Lead for @ComPharmEngland's Digital & Social Media Training event. Watch this space for details of everything they learn today!

Pharmacy First top tip from our Chair, Andrea Smith
✅ It’s imperative that staff understand the service, what it entails and that they are able to triage walk-in patients so that the pharmacist is seeing those who need their time/support

📽️ We are grateful to @SarahDykeLD for raising the issue of community pharmacies "dispensing at a loss, therefore subsiding the NHS" and asking the Health Secretary, @VictoriaAtkins, what steps she is taking to prevent further closures. 👇
We now have 100% of eligible contractors in Derby and Derbyshire signed up to Pharmacy First. What an achievement @DerbyshireLPC@NHSDDICB@JoinedUpCare to supporting the Primary Care Recovery Plan

I've worked in partnership with pharmacies for many years helping to support training of pharmacists - in their early and later years.
I encourage Pharmacy and General Practice to work closer together to help each other.
Collaboration isn't untested or wasteful.
Great to see so many people attending our first Pharmacy First Information Session! Our chief officer, @NickHunter19, is currently giving an overview of Pharmacy First to over 70 contractors from Notts & Derbyshire
