We’re delighted to be associated with this evening’s wonderful celebration of #communitypharmacy at St James’s Palace. Many thanks to HRH the Prince of Wales Clarence House for recognising the sector’s work in such a special way.

What an amazing event to be part of. Thank you to all who were involved in arranging it. An amazing acolade for #communitypharmacy being recognised in this manner.

Humbled to have been able to speak in person to HRH The Prince of Wales about the incredible work community pharmacists have done for their patients up and down the 🇬🇧 during the covid pandemic ! He totally gets it, let’s hope others follow suit!

Some would say: “enough about HRT drug shortages”… but it means so much to so many #women unable to function without these that we should not let it be brushed under the carpet #HRT #pharmacists

It was wonderful to present in person to the new CPharmacyScot council today - rich conversations on the challenges & opportunities for the #community #pharmacy network including a new contractual framework #workforce #digital #collective #leadership #change #collaboration

Great to look forward! But wow it’s been a journey - well done #pharmacyheroes @ScotPharm #scotpharmawards

Scottish Government make financial gesture to community pharmacy network pharmacyinpractice.uk/2023/05/31/sco…

At #FMQs Humza Yousaf says re the cash injection from Scottish Government to community pharmacies of £20m: part of our continued investment to "adequately fund" CPs. Whilst this is a welcome step forward this alone will be insufficient to keep doors open and meet community healthcare needs
