Go Avon LPC ! Great to be attending the virtual conference #alpc20

Well done Lisa for the tongue-twister that is the CPCS CCG PGD MAS trial! #alpc20

Yes - Richard is right. We're under pressure+++ especially as we are about the only health professional that patients can access F2F. Surely the CPCS PGDs are only the start #alpc20

OK - so the challenge for Avon LPC is the get the CPCS referrals, especially GP referrals, increased. We're doing many more than 8 consultations each day, but only a couple come as a CPCS for which we get a service fee... #alpc20

OK - that's good. This PCN lead is paying attention! #alpc20

Had a great meeting with PCN clinical leads. They’re really enthusiastic to increase use of CPCS and the PGDs agreed through Avon LPC really make a difference and we’re starting to see significant services income. A great achievement! #alpc21

Over 1.8 million flu vaccinations already administered in community pharmacies this season ow.ly/vC5350GqV5x

I have pharmacist friends in areas and they are very envious of how our LPC works for contractors! #ALPC21

Hypertension Case Finding - a good example of the importance of how investing in equipment and training will pay off #ALPC21

A quarter of discharged patients on DMS have a discrepancy, and one in eight have a discrepancy at stage 2 - thank god for pharmacy! #alpc21

Peter Cartee and Nick Barber are right - soon all Rxs will be dispensed by robot and delivered to pharmacies. Services are the way, and I’ll be glad to say goodbye to dispensing and hello to the patient care they’re maybe not getting in other parts of 1ry care… #alpc21

Never mind Captain Kirk going into space… Peter Carter “The Future is Services” #ALPC21

Can we club together and buy Richard Brown some artwork for the bare walls of his office? 😆 #ALPC21

Really pleased to see the Flu Outreach pharmacies nominated for an award #ALPC21

Absolutely fantastic closing comments by Lisa Fisher #ALPC21 A very honest, heartfelt and inspiring ending message. Very well done!

Great to be here at the Community Pharmacy Avon conference - and to see so many friends! #avonlpc23

#AvonLPC23 Question - I regularly hear concern from contractors around pharmacists becoming IPs and then being “poached” to work for the ICB or in GP practice. How can this concern be addressed?

#AvonLPC23 Question re supervision and services- what considerations are there around the use of Ph Techs and other staff? How can the issue of “every service delivered by the pharmacist” be addressed?

#AvonLPC23 Nick - re COVID enquiry - can we also consider the response from pharmacy during the 2009 “Swine Flu” epidemic which mirrored much of the covid response, and see the patterns eg Antiviral supply in 2009

#AvonLPC23 Principles for new deal Can we have greater autonomy to adjust or amend Rxs. Eg for unavailable products. I should be able to substitute appropriately (eg form, eg double half strength, eg generic/brand etc) without need for new Rx
