Great to see Pharmacy First launch yesterday. It could be a game changer for patients, the NHS, and pharmacy. So, now is the time for a new deal on funding for pharmacies...who currently receive just 1.6% of the NHS budget: the lowest proportion ever! #pharmacy

NPA board member ⁦Olivier Picard⁩ highlighting on ⁦ITV News⁩ that chronic underfunding of #pharmacies is not the ideal basis for the launch of a new pharmacy-delivered NHS service, however beneficial that service may be to patients.

Great to welcome Rebecca Barry of ITV News at Newdays Pharmacy in Berkshire to discuss the launch of the Pharmacy First service in England! 🌟 Stay tuned for updates on how this initiative will enhance community healthcare. National Pharmacy Association #PharmacyFirst #pharmacy

Unlike most other clinicians delivering new services, pharmacists at the 10k English pharmacies delivering new clinical services thru Pharmacy First, from 31 Jan, have had to get up to speed with requirements on their own time, as they don't get supported time to learn #pharmacy
