📢 OUTRAGED: Pharmacies snubbed in latest business rates support package

The Government has announced new business rates relief for pubs and music venues — but community pharmacies have been left out of this support. 

👉 According to the National Pharmacy Association, this decision is “an insult” to hard-pressed pharmacists who already struggle with historic underfunding, soaring medicine costs and rising business rates. 

📍 Unlike pubs, pharmacies can’t simply raise prices — most of their work is funded by the NHS — and excluding them from relief risks pushing some to the brink of closure. 

💬 As the NPA says: essential healthcare services deserve support too. 

It’s simply outrageous that the Government should offer business rate relief to pubs but ignore pharmacies that play a vital health role on thousands of our high streets.

Reducing Medicine Wastage in the NHS

💙 Let’s protect our NHS — one prescription at a time.
Every year, unused or wasted medicines cost the NHS millions of pounds — money that could fund more staff, equipment, and patient care.

Here’s how YOU can help reduce medicine waste:

💊 Only order what you need
Check your cupboards before re-ordering repeat prescriptions.

🗓️ Don’t stockpile
Medicines can expire — keep only what you’ll actually use.

🗣️ Talk to your GP or pharmacist
If your medication has changed or you’re no longer taking something, let them know so they can update your prescription.

♻️ Return unused medicines
Never throw them in the bin or down the sink. Take them back to your local pharmacy for safe disposal.

🌍 Small actions = big impact
Together, we can help reduce waste, support our NHS, and protect our environment.
