This week on Tuesday 22nd February, the All-Party Parliamentary Pharmacy Group hosted our virtual event, Empowering the Pharmacy Workforce. Alongside our fantastic panel of pharmacist speakers, we were also joined by several parliamentarians, who heard directly about the challenges facing the community pharmacy workforce.
Our Chair Jackie Doyle-Price MP led a discussion with our panel of frontline pharmacists and industry experts. Speakers discussed the current challenges facing the pharmacy workforce and debated the different ways that we can address them, ensuring pharmacy teams can continue to grow their significant role in the NHS.
We were delighted to hear from our distinguished panel including:
Paul Mason, Superintendent of Lo Pharmacy
Mark Koziol, Chairman of the Pharmacists’ Defence Association.
Malcolm Harrison, CEO of the Company Chemists’ Association.
Anil Sharma, practicing community pharmacist, and East Anglia Representative of the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee
Alan Ryan, Director of National Transformational Programmes at Health Education England.
As ever, we would like to thank everyone who took the time to join us for the event, and for their continuing support for the whole pharmacy sector.
