“Community pharmacies are going through the worst crisis in living memory.

❌1,400 community pharmacies have closed in the last decade
❌10 pharmacies are closing a week, and
❌Three quarters of pharmacies are in the red.

This matters because pharmacies are a lifeline for millions of people. They dispense vital medication, they offer local healthcare advice – often saving lives when they spot serious health issues, they can identify and treat minor ailments and they know their local communities.
Pharmacies are the heart of communities and support people – particularly the vulnerable – in so many ways. We cannot afford to lose them.
In the run up to the general election, we can make the funding crisis in community pharmacies a key issue in the election campaign.” Paul Rees, NPA Chief Executive
