Good news but it should never have been allowed to become a story.
@MattHancock @keithridge1 @NHSEngland next time someone in government plans to say anything health related get them to Think Pharmacy First.
Stop apologising for forgetting community pharmacies by not forgetting.

An interesting 3 hours in #communitypharmacy. Complicated palliative care scripts, out of stocks, huge opioid dose increases . All sorted with a bit of liaising with other branches and out of hours service providers 👍🏼

I cannot believe I am tweeting this - But everyone please please do not inject disinfectants in an attempt to prevent or treat COVID 19! This is dangerous and will cause harm!

We know that pharmacist pre-registration trainees and tutors would like an update from us as soon as possible about what will happen this year. We are working as quickly as possible on this and will send a further update by email early next week.

Drs surgery close/phones down.. so where do vulnerable people or people that require advice/info turn to? This is not the time or place to call out in midst of an epidemic but in times such as this people and the wider healthcare system turn to COMMUNITY PHARMACY... please note.

In the absence of national co-ordinated guidance on Coronavirus pandemic prep for Community Pharmacy teams, I’ve just brain dumped all the things I’m considering based on what I’m hearing/seeing to get us through the weeks ahead. The considerations will change daily no doubt

Should we use the term painkiller or pain reliever?

[UKCPA @UKCPA]

Did you know community pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice and over-the-counter medicines to effectively and safely manage a range of minor illnesses? #HelpUsHelpYou get it seen to. https://t.co/1iHXt142Mk @UKCPACommunity

Looking forward to attending this next week. Anyone else going?

Once again, a round of applause for @CandDIsabel. 👏 So much incredible work in her first year @ChemistDruggist, but my personal fav has got to be her 'French model' exclusive, which got tongues wagging across the sector

[Community Pharmacy Cornwall @KernowPharmacy]

There’s no better time to log on for your first @VirtualOutcome1 training. #FMD

I've known the symptoms of cellulitis for a while, but C+D's latest CPD module has a range of great pictures to aid in identifying the skin and soft tissue infection.
