I’ve just voted in the RPharmS Board Elections, although with 26 candidates it wasn’t an easy decision to pick my preferred nine people. Really pleased to see the diversity of the candidates and area of practice rpharms.com/about-us/who-we-…

Aaaggghhhh - I’ve done it again! Yet again I’ve gone to the wrong dispensing drawer to get clarithromycin. I always look for it with chlorpromazine because I think should be spelt with a “chl” like chlamydia 😡

According to @mimsonline , the manufacturer of Epaderm says it’s been unavailable cos of unexpected low orders by the wholesalers. Often pharma companies tell me there’s no stock cos the wholesalers “need to place an order”. You’d think the makers would prompt them in some way

Yet another text today that HMRC owe me a refund. Scams like this threaten the most vulnerable & I worry about my 97yr old father being taken in by scam phone calls. Fortunately he’s very deaf and a lifelong curmudgeon who mistrusts everyone, so hopefully not

This is what I should have done instead of just having a moan about it on Twitter

Replying to @Xrayser
Their advice is misleading and can only add to confusion and anxiety for patients contemplating taking the vaccine. I've emailed them to enquire about their regulatory body so a complaint can be raised.

“Drinkaware issues advice on alcohol and Covid-19 vaccine” I’m sorry Drinkaware, but this advice is completely without evidence base, or recommended by JCVI or vaccine SPC and so allows people to cast doubt on your supported health advice drinkaware.co.uk/professiona…

Heard today that a local branch of a multiple is being closed, and the first the staff knew about it was when one of the delivery drivers told them... Always good to tell your transport team about redundancies before the store staff themselves

It would be helpful if new headlines made it clear when new services are only available from certain pharmacies. We've had queries about "COVID vaccine now available from pharmacies" and "Domestic abuse victims can alk into a pharmacy and say Annie"...

Would you believe it, but in the midst of everything else going on I now have to attend a court in Northern Ireland as a witness in a fraud case! For obvious reasons I can’t give details, but one day I’ll write the book - or maybe get @GrahamBrack to ghost write it for me!

Just completed 21 pieces of mandatory online training and assessment for the Trust in preparation for volunteer COVID vaccinator. Don’t know if the jab gives everyone a sore arm but it’s certainly caused me RSI wrist ache!

Is it ironic that the email from my Trust directing volunteer COVID vaccinators to their mandatory Information Governance training sent my email address to everyone in “Cc” instead of “Bcc”... Or was that part of my assessment to see if I’d report it correctly..?
