A ‘possible pharmacy crisis?’ It seems @ITV has missed the countless stories published in the pharmacy press over the years about the threat to pharmacy as a result of poor government funding. And here’s a news alert for ITV: pharmacy has been on the #NHS frontline for some time.
Thursday Night, on @ITV... @PaulBrandITV reports on a possible pharmacy crisis as estimates imply that an average of eight close a week and that they are at their lowest number since 2015. Pharmacies: The New NHS Frontline? is on ITV, Thursday Night, at 8:30pm Get involved by using the hashtag #ITVTonight

1. We know from @ONS which groups have have the highest CVD mortality. We can see from #CVDprevent , how many have uncontrolled CVD risk factors and can monitor these numbers over time. Eg about 500K people in Deprivation quintile 1 currently have BP not treated to target.

The Community Pharmacy Blood Pressure Check Scheme is an incredibly important part of our work to reduce cardiovascular mortality. It can really help us to reduce health inequalities. #ZeroCVD
From today, pharmacies can start offering more life-saving blood pressure checks. It's estimated this could prevent more than 1,350 heart attacks and strokes in the first year, while helping to free up GP appointments. Find a pharmacy near you with this service 👇

It’s been brilliant to see so many pharmacists focussing on #CVDPrevention. CVD claims 136,000 lives a year and is the largest cause of health inequalities. Not only is CVD prevention strongly evidence based, it works really quickly. @davidwebb_1 @jignesh263 @Pharma2wit
Community pharmacists are being offered a range of fully-funded, flexible training to expand their clinical skills and improve patient care. Find out more: hee.nhs.uk/our-work/pharmacy… #CommunityPharmacy
