Delighted @CCApharmacy analysis getting the national coverage it deserves.
Community pharmacy funding in England was cut in 2015, frozen ever since. The government's own analysis indicates that's a real term cut of £67,000 per pharmacy.

Ministers have used NHS charge hikes as a substitute for decent investment.
They are hitting the patients who need us most.

Pharmacy once again demonstrating what it's capable of. Some fantastic work here across the country.
40 million COVID vaccines is incredible. All whilst keeping everything else going, managing ever increasing demand, and preparing for Pharmacy First.
Pharmacies in England had administered over 40 million #Covid_19 vaccines by the end of last year – three years after the first vaccination was delivered in a pharmacy, according to a freedom of information request submitted by @CCApharmacy to @NHSEngland.
