It was great to be out campaigning today in Broadland with the Lib Dem team 😊

'What we're seeing is an increase in the number of medicines out of stock, and we've been highlighting this issue for two years.

'As demand for a medicine goes up, the supply chain can't handle that.” - Dr Leyla Hannbeck AIMp

Data collected with other health charities show that drug shortages are putting the health of people with #epilepsy and #Parkinsons at risk.

Department of Health and Social Care needs to step up, and fix supply chain issues.

Great to work alongside Epilepsy Society Parkinson UK and SUDEP Action to highlight the current medicines supply issues & discuss the impact on patient care in a comprehensive report on Channel 5 News. The Government must act now. Ruth Liptrot

.Dr Dean's initiative has been backed by AIMp chief executive Leyla Hannbeck. She said: 'If this is successful it could be amazing to see more practices have a similar system in place.’ #TeamGP #Generalpractice #GPnews

Medicines shortages are rife &creating havoc for pharmacies. Common medicines such as antibiotics &certain #medicines for #ADHD & #epilepsy continue to be difficult to source presenting stress for patients & pharmacy teams. Still no sign of a strategy by
officials on this issue.

They braved the horrors of war to get food to starving families. Their deaths are horrifying and heartbreaking.

This violence has to stop. Now. We need an immediate bilateral ceasefire – a real ceasefire that finally sets us on the path to a lasting peace.

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

Happy Easter 🐣

Great to be filming with Good Morning Britain this morning speaking with Richard Gaisford about pressures on community pharmacies and the government’s proposals on expanding the role of technicians. #Pharmacy24 #Fight4Pharmacies

Well done to our member Ian strachan for a great interview with ITV News about the state of community pharmacy funding. The #pharmacy network can be a robust solution to the #NHS challenges but it must be funded appropriately.

Thank you Leyla Hannbeck for speaking to several of our staff and members of other charities about the ongoing medication shortages. Your insight was greatly appreciated.

Thanks to Young Epilepsy Epilepsy Action SUDEP Action Parkinson's UK for attending. Collaboration is vital!💜

I’m delighted to have been selected as a Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Liberal Democrats and will be standing in the beautiful constituency of Broadland and Fakenham.

The #Budget2024 is yet another missed chance 2address chronic underfunding that risks hundreds more local #pharmacy closures.Without adequate investment,the much-vaunted Pharmacy First initiative risks becoming little more than a hollow pledge as a solution to primary care crisis

🙏 BBC Morning Live for the opportunity to highlight the challenges pharmacies are facing, including higher costs of medicines& shortages. >90% of activities in pharmacies is NHS, they don’t pass the increasing costs to patients& many are left out of pocket

Local pharmacies are vital: they provide walk-in high street health services & free up GPs to focus on the longer-term care of patients w/ complex needs.

Good to meet GPs & Assura reps at Summerfield Health Centre to discuss pharmacy &GP provision in London Colney #StAlbans
