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. itv.com/watch/news/gov…

The sorry state of North west pharmacy . 104 closures since 2019 and over half a million extra GP appointments as result . How can this make sense . To destroy the most efficient part of an otherwise inefficient NHS. #Fight4pharmacies @AIMpharmacies Leyla Hannbeck #pharmacy

Today we launched our #Fight4Pharmacies campaign at Westminster. There was a lot of interest & engagement with the media &parliamentarians. Thank you to all our #pharmacy champions that attended and throughout the day highlighted the realities facing our sector.

Technicians in pharmacies and dental hygienists are to be allowed to supply certain medicines and treatments to patients in the future. The government said it will help to speed up access to care.

In 2012 health care in England became de politicised from parliament. That decision quickly led to a pernicious agenda to reduce pharmacies in England whilst creating less reliance upon sector . Parliament must now urgently intervene to reverse this personal Vendetta .

I've signed this and encourage everyone - patients and healthcare professionals - to do so too.

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 @5_news #medicineshortages #pharmacy

For the sake of humanity please stop this terrible war. The suffering of the children is unbearable. How can anyone with any conscience not be affected by this. #CEASEFIRE_NOW , release the hostages and work on a two state solution. #Gaza #Israel

A long awaited announcement that a spoke- hub- patient will be there for those whose life work means nothing . pension gone patient access gone and the tax payer left paying way more than today. It’s now over to Parliament to be assured no closures. Really RIP .

Both Professor Sir Stephen Powis and Wes Streeting believe cultural change is possible across the NHS . I’d say lower your sights guys. It’s too ambitious. Focus on management & focus on its leadership before anything else.

Good to speak on BBC Breakfast this morning about the ongoing medicines supply issues & the impact on patient care. Also well done to Ian strachan for highlighting on the programme how pharmacists are struggling on a daily basis& how on many occasions they are left out of pocket

These acts of violence & civil unrest are the hallmarks of a society which lacks hope , opportunity and the leadership to give everyone a reason to believe they can be someone. Threatening stiffer sentencing or blaming police, is not the answer.

It’s reprehensible how pharmacy world has regressed beyond recognition since 2018 . Weak boards, weak leadership is responsible. I urge ALL pharmacy owners to join the independent pharmacy association (IPA). It offers the best hope ,best prospects for independent pharmacy.

Great to see the very versatile sangita myska on sky’s press preview tonight .
