Pharmacy First – how’s it going? We caught up with Community Pharmacy Derbyshire’s Company Chemists' Association representative and board member, David Holmes, last week to find out his personal experience of Pharmacy First so far. Since David’s ‘day job’ is as a Professional Standards and Quality Manager with Boots UK, he doesn’t work as the RP very often. However, he was very kind to provide us with the following overview of the Pharmacy First consultations he has personally carried out since the service launched on 31st January. “I’ve completed approximately 15 consultations since the end of January and the most common conditions I’ve seen are uncomplicated UTIs and sore throats. Of those consultations, 100% were self-referrals/walk-ins and it is clear that people are only just discovering the service as many people I spoke to hadn’t heard of Pharmacy First. Yet! When we explain it to them, they think it’s amazing and their response is very positive." ✅ DAVID’S TOP TIPS ✅ Ensure your healthcare assistants and those who are on the healthcare are aware of the service themselves and fully understand what’s involved. This prevents disappointed patients who may not hit the gateway criteria. ✅ As a pharmacist, you need to be well aware of the PGDs and, ultimately, practice makes perfect! #pharmacyfirst #pharmacist #communitypharmacy

ICYMI: 70% of pharmacy professionals who participated in a recent survey or town hall said they are experiencing corporate pressures that impact their professional autonomy.

🔔 Call to Action for Nevada folks! 🔔 (scroll to bottom) Nevada BOP is stepping up BIG TIME and taking action on the results of the survey they conducted! 👏🏽 I believe this is the first concrete proposal in the nation for safe staffing requirements in community pharmacy. Take a look: https://lnkd.in/gsVcjuBC What are your thoughts on their safe staffing levels, and why? While we may all have varying opinions on what constitutes a safe staffing level, the fact that this draft has been set forth is a monumental win for communities and their pharmacies. This proposal was not made blindly by corporate executives, this was in direct relation to responses from Nevada pharmacists working on the ground right now. ACTION: If you are in Nevada, please attend the BOP meeting on 5/29 to make a public comment (they typically give you 2 minutes). Whether it is in support or to suggest an amendment, **showing up is the only way we get to solutions.** We are the change we’ve been waiting for. Don’t just yell from the stands. Get in the arena. We’ll be right beside you. #TogetheRx #ThePharmacyGuild #SafeStaffingNow #Pharmacists #CommunityPharmacy #PizzaIsNotWorking
