The quality systems in aseptic services detail roles & responsibilities including chief pharmacist england.nhs.uk/long-read/ass… I support the enabling legislation that will see services improve through the professionalism of pharmacy technicians and pharmacists #StrongerTogether
Legislation is the enabler, regulation and professional standards are the framework to support practice. Let’s not look back in 20years and think how we didn’t take the opportunity to utilise the value of a regulated profession in pharmacy 👏for our patients and services 👍

We have an opportunity to ensure Pharmacy Technicians’ knowledge, skills and expertise to deliver more as registered healthcare professionals is aided by legislation, regulation and professional standards. Responding to the DHSC consultation is important. gov.uk/government/consultati…

#PharmacyTechnicians working in #TechnicalServices, we are aware there have been inflammatory, emotive and derogatory statements issued leaving Pharmacy Technicians feeling devalued. As your #ProfessionalLeadershipBody we want to assure you we are there to support you. ⬇️

Very poor @PharmDeclares and @FMLM_UK #NonInclusive Why are Pharmacy Technicians "being investigated"? Since 2011 it has been a legal requirement to be registered like pharmacists with @TheGPhC @APTUK1 have many members in senior leadership positions in the NHS #ShameOnYou

Worked for 43 years as a Pharmacy Technician then pharmacist, in S10 & MHRA units, on wards & as Superintendent & Chief Pharmacist I support supervision in aseptic facilities because I have witnessed how well the safe quality systems work including clinical checks by pharmacists

#pharmacytechnicians are more than capable of running an aseptic unit and managing QMS …. working alongside authorised pharmacists (as would still be required). Yet another disappointing but not surprising example of #professionalprotectionism
