20 June 2024- Day of Action #Saveourpharmacies Ps this isn’t a strike it’s a day of protest.

It was good to visit Devonport Pharmacy today to discuss how we save community pharmacy and back the vital pharmacy workforce. #saveourpharmacies

For example: Pharmacists pay £15 for this blood thinner but are reimbursed around £1.77. Industry action could mean pharmacies cutting their opening hours & patients fear this will mean travelling further to access services.

We have been open every day for over 72 years. Pharmacies are closing each week - we don’t want to be next. Today we’re sounding the alarm to #saveourpharmacies. ⁦⁦Wes Streeting MP⁩ ⁦Stephen Kinnock⁩ please sort out pharmacy funding - no increase since 2015- it’s desperate!

National Pharmacy Association Pharmacy Day of Action. Please support you local pharmacies and raise awareness of the funding crisis. #saveourpharmacies bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Delighted to stand alongside Faruque Gani, at Pelton Chemist, Ilford, to mark our 2nd #SaveOurPharmacies day of action - when we've really got the message across, doing interviews with BBC1 Breakfast News, Radio 4's Today programme, ITV Good Morning Britain, Channel 5 News etc.

Good to be joined by other sector leaders to deliver over 350,000 signatures to Downing Street this morning showing support for our #SaveOurPharmacies campaign It's vital that the Government reverses funding cuts and invests in community pharmacy.

It's been a week since I was asked to share my thoughts and experiences on the last #saveourpharmacies day of action. The public awareness is being crested. The common phrase is... 'I didn't know that? That is so unfair! Why? etc'.
