Check out realistic Medicine week it links to everything we do for patients

We have published a statement setting out our position that all pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working in all settings across Great Britain should be vaccinated against COVID-19, unless they are medically exempt. Read our statement >> ht.ly/SwWo30salOX
Valuable and important thread to understand
You all know the data demonstrating dramatically higher hospitalization rates for unvaccinated folks But one key point often not discussed? Around 60%-70% of unvaccinated adults have already been previously infected Which tells us a lot about infection-induced immunity Thread

Devastating 💔I am scared of covid, especially long covid. Mental health matters
Yesterday I was grateful to be able to join family and friends of @FionaDenison in Edinburgh to celebrate her life. Please read about her in this BMJ piece. My heart goes out to Gordon, her sons and family.

Feeling very frustrated at Big Bad Pharma 😡I hope these companies get appropriate punishment inappropriate patient treatment & wasting valuable NHS staff resources
Remember liothyronine? The replacement hormone which rose in price by 6,000% and became so expensive some doctors took patients off the life-changing drug. We exposed this in The Times 2016 and earlier this year the CMA handed out a £100m+ fine... (1/13)
How hard would it be for NHS to add cold-like symptoms of Covid to this list to help reduce the spread?? Still over 50 percent of current cases lack the 3, traditional symptoms

We want all patient facing pharmacists to have the opportunity to become independent prescribers (IPs). Join us to gain an insight to government strategies, support, training & practice models. Thurs 18 Feb | 7.30pm Book now rphar.ms/3d5K9gJ
Sometimes the research with the biggest impact on intensive care units happens outside of them. We now know that tocilizumab treatment for severe Covid prevents ICU admission and death. Protecting overhwelmed ICUs, saving lives.
RECOVERY Result for Tocilizumab For patients with COVID-19, hypoxia & inflammation: - reduces mortality - shortens time to hospital discharge - reduces the need for invasive mechanical ventilation Good news for patients. Good news for the health services that look after them

Please don't over stock your medication! Ordering prescriptions you don't need right now puts pressure on community pharmacies and pharmacy staff in GP Practices. It also creates medication shortages. Please don't do it. Please order in your usual way and only what you need.
