Doctors are crashing out because UK pharmacists are becoming independent prescribers.
From 2026, every newly qualified pharmacist in the UK will register as an independent prescriber. Some GPs and doctor groups are already saying pharmacists aren’t trained enough, don’t know how to diagnose, and that this is just “scope creep” to replace doctors and cut costs.
But let’s be real.
Pharmacists are the experts in medicines. We spend years studying pharmacology, interactions, dosing, and patient safety — things many doctors only touch briefly. The UK is trying to reduce pressure on GPs by letting qualified pharmacists handle more.
Is the concern about patient safety genuine, or is it more about protecting territory?
Nigerian pharmacists and health professionals — have you seen this kind of resistance when roles expand here too?
Drop your thoughts. Is this a good move for patients or a dangerous shortcut? 👇

GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Your parents won't see you grow old. Your partner never knew you as a child, and your children won't remember you young. You are the only person who witnesses every version of yourself. Take care of yourself, value yourself and love yourself. You are your lifelong companion.
👀 Have you heard about GLP-1/GIP?
Your gut naturally produces hormones that play a major role in appetite regulation, blood sugar control and weight management.
Now, science has found ways to harness these hormonal pathways to support weight loss.
Curious about how they work, their benefits and whether they may be suitable for you?
Let’s talk! 👇
I’m happy to guide you through the science and your weight-management journey. 💉🧬

Why do people hate on those using Reta or other GLP-1s so much?
I’m convinced half the hate is an access issue LMFAO. I’ve watched people talk crazy about peptides, then the second they figured out where to get them, they switched up overnight 😭 ( I know at least 5 people that have done it )
A professional advice and clarification about the use of peptides for weight loss management.
There’re quite a number of peptides currently in existence Semaglutide, Liraglutide, Tirzepatide, Setmelanotide, Retatrutide, Cagrilintide, Survodutide, and VK2735… while we have had a major breakthrough with most of these medications for different indications, most are l still investigational and yet to be approved for obesity management…. Recently there has been a compelling marketing of some of the investigational peptides like Retatrutide for weight loss, this’s wrong as they may pose serious side effects and contraindications that are unknown with human body yet… Semaglutide, Liraglutides and Tirzepatide are the only peptides that are approved for weight loss management however Setmelanotides are approved for specific genetic conditions…
It’s also important to use these approved peptides under supervision of the health care professionals and remember not to rule out diet and physical exercise as ways to manage your body weight along side…

Before GLP-1s, gym bros would call people out for lacking willpower to make lifestyle changes and lose fat
After GLP-1s, things have changed a lot.
Most people now agree that obesity is more than just a willpower problem
But what’s concerning is the new extreme - the idea that you don’t need to make any lifestyle changes at all
And you can just keep raising the dose and stay on GLP-1s forever
Mainstream thinking has swung from one extreme to the other
The truth is somewhere in the middle
Use GLP-1s to kickstart fat loss, then use that momentum to build better habits around training, nutrition, and sleep
GLP1s + your effort is the sweet spot
