You’ve completed the INFORMED CPD activity about sleep?

Now I want to hear from you.

Sleep support in community pharmacy is inconsistent - and we all know it could be so much better.

But what’s really standing in the way?

I’m listening to pharmacists, technicians, and contractors to hear firsthand:

⚫ What’s working - and what isn’t

⚫ The real pressures behind the counter

⚫ How sleep support can be made practical, not theoretical

These short conversations will directly inform (see what I did there?!):

⚫ Future CPD and learning materials

⚫ Sleep education for student pharmacists

⚫ A published article - and

⚫ Pressure for system-wide change

Your voice can shape how pharmacy tackles sleep disorders - and make sure we’re not doing it in isolation.

Up for a short chat?

Think you can catch up on sleep at the weekend?

Think again.

I didn’t set out to sleep in this Sunday -
But without the usual early train thundering past, I did.

And it reminded me of a common myth I hear all the time:

That we can repay sleep debt by lying in on weekends.

❌ Not true.

And for pharmacy teams, this misunderstanding can impact how pharmacy teams assess and support patients with sleep issues.

As a sleep and pharmacy expert, I’ve seen firsthand how better sleep knowledge leads to better clinical decision-making.

⚫ Want to understand how sleep really works?

⚫ Keen to make more confident calls on sleep-related conditions?

⚫ Need CPD that’s relevant and practical?

You’ll find all that in this short learning activity - built specifically for community pharmacy teams.

Curious how one myth could be influencing your clinical decisions?

Just to say that we focus on LinkedIn so we’re not that active on FB.
