World Pharmacist Day is a day to recognise and celebrate the crucial role that pharmacists play in building healthier communities everywhere.
Pharmacists are the most accessible members of healthcare systems. They ensure the availability and appropriate use of medicines, deliver vaccinations and preventive care, support public health campaigns, promote rational antibiotic use, improve health literacy, and serve as a trusted point of contact for millionsโespecially in underserved areas.
In short, pharmacists deliver safe, cost-effective care that strengthens health systems and contributes to universal health coverage.
๐Thankyou to our pharmacists!๐

Available on the high-street, community pharmacy teams have the right clinical training to give people the health advice they need, with no appointment necessary and private consultations available. Community pharmacists will signpost patients to other local services where necessary.
By expanding the services community pharmacies offer, the NHS is aiming to help free up GP appointments and give people more choice in how and where they access care.
