Pharmacists urged to speak to their MPs

Pharmacy Voice and PSNC are urging community pharmacists to get in touch with their local MPs about the community pharmacy manifesto.

Claire Ward, chair of Pharmacy Voice, said: ‘With a newly elected government committed to greater integration of primary care and improving out-of-hospital care services, we need to ensure community pharmacy stays front of mind at Westminster. Local engagement with MPs is vital. Parliament will head into summer recess on 21 July and I recommend pharmacy teams get in touch with their newly elected MP before then.’

PSNC chief executive Sue Sharpe added: ‘The national pharmacy organisations will continue to promote community pharmacy to politicians, but the more people in parliament who understand what pharmacy can do, the better.’ Pharmacy Voice and PSNC have created various resources, including template letters, a guide to arranging an MP visit and a template letter to engage with patients, which are available at pharmacymanifesto.com
