This was a fascinating piece to research - thank you to everyone who spoke to me for it. Pharmacists definitely do have a role to play in ED - especially with the increase in long waits.
In this week's feature, @AliJaneMoore highlights although NHS trusts have made progress towards a dedicated pharmacy service in emergency departments, there is a long way to go before each trust has the recommended support in place

There’s a correction on this post that shows it was a majority decision of those that voted to turn into a Royal College.
However 31.4% turnout, which for reference was far higher than turnout in English Board election was 7.3% (2023) and 10.1% (2024).

Good article - as "captives in the audience" of the GPhC, it would be good to see a pause, and reflection before the second rise in fees.
Evidence of the improvement & efficiency gains being shared.
Perhaps no second rise if improvement is lacking.
I can dream...
This month, our health policy columnist @HPIAndyCowper argues why the #GPhC needs to look at its own fitness-to-practise processes before it can expect to increase registration fees

An important point I made at the @ucl, @NPA1921, and @rpharms lecture last week. Community pharmacy’s trusted patient relationships are key to increasing vaccine uptake & a critical tool in combating #AMR. Let’s unleash this potential!

Speaking at the @ucl, @NPA1921 and @rpharms annual lecture, @OlivierPicardUK said that community pharmacy's "rapport with our patients" could help to increase the uptake of vaccines to address antimicrobial resistance
