A message from community pharmacy

To our patients and customers,

Please be patient, courteous and safe when visiting your local pharmacy.
All healthcare workers, including the UK's 14,000 pharmacy teams, are doing everything they can to help the country through this tough winter period.
Sadly, the pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic, and shortages of lateral flow tests in particular, have sometimes spilled over into verbal abuse of pharmacy staff.
We want to remind all pharmacy patients and customers to be patient with pharmacy staff, who are doing their utmost to support you at this very difficult time; treat them with courtesy,
as you yourself would wish to be treated.
Pharmacies have distributed nearly 300 million lateral flow kits, but the current supply into pharmacies is not enough to meet demand. They are doing everything they can but are not in control of the national supply chain.
We have told the government that they should either guarantee enough stock, or have an honest conversation with the public about prioritising essential workers. It is unfair, in our
view, for pharmacists to be put in a position of rationing stock.
A word about the 16 digit 'Collect Code' that people are asked to present to pharmacy staff when requesting a test kit: this is not a guarantee that a particular pack will be waiting for you or that indeed the pharmacy will have any packs at all. In fact its purpose is to monitor pharmacy distribution. We would rather it was not required, but that is the system we currently have to work with.
Alongside their day job of providing your medicines, health advice and a range of NHS services, pharmacies have gone above and beyond in their efforts to protect the population during this pandemic, including delivering nearly 17 million covid jabs. They have worked
incredibly hard with little respite for months and deserve to feel safe at work.
Please help us to continue to do our vital work on the health service frontline, in these ways:

Do not enter a pharmacy if you suspect you may be infected - this puts pharmacy staff and other patients and customers at risk.
Wear masks unless you are exempt - with the Omicron variant appearing to be
more transmissible, this message is more important than ever before if health
workers and the services they deliver are to be protected.
If you take medicines for a long-term medical condition, please order your repeat medication in plenty of time before your current supply runs out, to avoid unnecessary delays.
Treat pharmacy staff with courtesy, as you yourself would wish to be treated.
There must be zero tolerance of abuse in any circumstances.

Thank you to my team at the Pharmacy. Never have we been so busy, but the staff are continuing to serve all our patients as efficiently but most importantly maintaining clinical accuracy. We are having unprecedented amount of calls for deliveries. This is understandable, with the extremely vulnerable being our top priority. We are looking for volunteers to help with the workload with undergraduate students and the voluntary scheme. We will be looking at the governance side of how this will work with training etc. Be rest assured we will continue to fulfill prescriptions, but if you can please pick your prescriptions up, or get a family member or friend, that will help a lot. Whilst in the shop please respect the social distancing. Thanks all and stay safe.

A bit of information this month for men. It is ok to ask about any symptoms or concerns you have, about your health. It’s good to talk!

11/10/2019

We have two campaigns at the Pharmacy. Stopober and a mental health campaign, with lots of really useful information and leaflets to take away. Please come and have a look and good luck if you are hoping to quit this year.

This month our health campaign is on breast screening awareness. It is so important to check your breasts regularly, for any changes. I didn’t realise our health champion Jackie knew so many variations on the word breasts! We are trying to make a serious situation a little bit light with the message at our pharmacy.

11/06/2019

We are completing our annual patient questionnaires early this year, to obtain patient thoughts of our pharmacy refit. What a lovely comment from one of our delightful patients. Whoever it was, thank you for your kind comments.

15/05/2019

It’s oral health month at our Pharmacy. We have lots of information to advise the whole family about the your teeth. This includes the size of the toothbrush, the amount of fluoride required for your teeth. Please come into the pharmacy and we will advise.

Such sad news recently for one of our regular patients.
