We recently wrote to the RPS in respect of the recent proposal to move to a Royal College. We seek clarity for our members on areas such as career progression, movement between roles or specialties, and financial implications that such a move may involve.

For me there are many benefits of working from home.
But one of the best must be catching autumnal sunrise like this. 🌅
Interesting food for thought for NHS Chief Pharmacists.
I envisage providing extended hours will be difficult.
Particularly having a sufficient workforce who are trained to respond to these types of enquiries.
Do you run a @UKMedicinesInfo patient helpline? Do you know what's most important to your potential callers, esp those who don't call in the end?
Our new paper will tell you - extended opening hours & quick answers, but other things matter too.

Having left a role in an acute trust last year I can really sympathise with this.
Working remotely provides :
🟢 Financial benefits (no cost of commute)
🟢 More free time to spend as you wish (not sitting in rush hour traffic)
🟢 Fewer distractions to concentrate on work
This week's feature from @LipanovicD looks at #medicinesreconciliation targets, which figures working in hospital pharmacy say are appropriate and should be challenged

I will be facilitating the Legal & Ethical session this morning.

Myself and @rhusubh4 finished our secondments with the NHSE health and justice team last month.
