Kennedy’s Pharmacy are delighted to be supporting this programme

Community pharmacist Patrick Kennedy talks about the ‘scramble’ each month to ensure there is enough money to pay medicine wholesalers. He absolutely loves working as a community pharmacist but increasingly sees his role as a financial controller & that’s not what he signed up to

Community pharmacists talk about difficulties in paying their medicine wholesalers and 'wholesaler jumping' as they work to provide medicines to patients, but unfortunately because of the funding crisis this isn't always happening, and this is public health issue

Community pharmacists talk about the significant funding shortfalls in community pharmacy which the network just can’t absorb. They want to help people in their local communities, but they need to be funded fairly to make this possible.
