Any of my colleagues in here currently pre-reg tutors and have managed to negotiate the sign off process?

A great article. One of the strengths and challenges for community pharmacy is that much of our support goes to those whose need us because their energy is spent in other ways. Thank you for amplifying our voices.
Pharmacy. Our pharmacists have stayed open under more pressures than just the virus. Read a first hand account of what it’s been like, and my plea for NHSE to show that they understand the need to secure their future. ⁦@NPA1921⁩ ⁦@rpharms⁩ thearticle.com/the-other-her…

We’ve made it 😊
I want to give a shout-out to all Britain's pharmacies. Just been to a local one in Kensington & they're working flat-out due to the closure of many doctor's surgeries - yet they have dangerously little PPE. Don't forget them @MattHancock.

Powers that be, you’ve stuck a plaster on a bleeding sector & think this will heal it. We will haemorrhage beyond control & then you will see how the whole system collapses.This is an insult to a sector that has stepped up selflessly in the #COVID19 fight psnc.org.uk/our-news/covid-1…

Can I suggest that we all share Mike Hewitson’s poster on social mediaand encourage others to do the same. No point just having it in the pharmacy as it’s too late then. Thanks Mike.

Thanks to everyone who has been staying at home. By delaying the spread of the disease we can reduce the pressure on our NHS, and that's how we hope to save many thousands of lives. #StayHomeSaveLives

I have trained up my counter assistant (the ‘girl on the till’) over several months so that she is now able to safely sell medicines over the counter and know when to refer to the pharmacist (the ‘pretend doctor’) #whatwedoinpharmacy @thismorning

Recently I liaised with a local GP to make sure a medication change that had been made in hospital was actioned for a patient so that she didn’t run out of her new tablets. This would NOT have happened had I not intervened #whatwedoinpharmacy @thismorning @laulok
