Pharmacies are at the heart of communities and offer vital support to people, especially the vulnerable. However, in England alone over 1,400 community pharmacies have closed in the last decade, with 10 closing every week. That’s why we’d like you to join together and support the National Pharmacy Association #saveourpharmacies campaign, that aims to do exactly that! Whether the dispensing of vital medication or providing local healthcare advice, community pharmacies are a fundamental aspect of the day-to-day running of a community which we can’t afford to lose. For more information please visit NPA’s website to see how you can get involved. https://lnkd.in/eTrtPV6D #saveourpharmacies #healthcaremarketing #marketingagency #pharmamarketing #creativeadvertising

Many pharmacies are reporting being under immense amount of pressure and with years of underfunding they cannot afford investing in more staff. As a result some are forced to temporarily close their doors due to overwhelming prescription backlogs far exceeding staff capacity that could increase the risk for patient safety incidents. One example was recently reported by BBC West Countries (link below). As we highlighted in our Fight4Pharmacies campaign launched earlier this week in the Parliament, the temporary and permanent closures are proof positive that community pharmacy is in crisis. Systematic and chronic underfunding by the Government has stripped the sector to the bone, leaving community pharmacies unable to cope with the surge in pressure arising from being asked to do more and more without the proper funding. We need the Government to wake up to this crisis. Despite their heroic efforts to stay open, pharmacies all across the country are buckling. What’s so frustrating is that Ministers and #NHS leaders appear to be in denial. As recently as last week, we warned of a ‘tsunami’ of permanent closures. The official Government response was they didn’t ‘recognise’ our figures. Surely, patients queuing around the block, pharmacies having to temporarily close to clear backlogs and the owners and staff suffering the worry and stress of being on the brink of financial collapse should be enough for the powers that be to see this situation for what it is - a clear and present danger to primary care and patients. #Pharmacy #Fight4Pharmacies https://lnkd.in/eci7K_Wr

Grateful for pharmacists' invaluable input in recent surveys and town halls! Let's keep pushing for patient-focused care without constraints. The participation facilitated Ontario College of Pharmacists’ board discussion leading to the draft position statement against exclusivity deals and unnecessary practice pressures. Together, let's champion patient well-being and uphold professional integrity. 🌟💊 This case serves as a powerful reminder that healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, are aligning with patients against practices that prioritize profitability over service delivery. #PatientCare #HealthcareAdvocacy #ProfessionalIntegrity #PatientFirst

3wPharmacies are a cornerstone of our healthcare system, providing essential services that many of us depend on. They bridge the gap between long waits for GP appointments and immediate community needs. It is disheartening to witness the underfunding and closure of these vital stores. I hope this initiative will highlight the crucial role of pharmacy services and inspire positive change in our communities.
