How are you celebrating
World Pharmacists Day 2019?

Today marks World Pharmacists Day 2019 – a day where pharmacists are encouraged to organise activities that promote and advocate for the role of the pharmacist in improving health. The theme this year is “Safe and effective medicines for all,” according to the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP).

The theme aims to promote pharmacists’ crucial role in safeguarding patient safety through improving medicines use and reducing medication errors.

Have you supported the Safer Pharmacies Charter? 
If you haven’t done so already, please use today as the perfect opportunity to sign our Safer Pharmacies Charter, which defines basic standards to ensure safe practice wherever pharmacists work.

Pharmacist Support GoGreen campaign

#GoGreen4PS is Pharmacist Support’s annual campaign. The aim of the campaign is to highlight the issues impacting pharmacists, to raise awareness of the vital FREE services available via the charity and to bring the pharmacy community together to raise much-needed funds to help more individuals.

This year’s campaign runs from World Pharmacists Day on the 25th September until 31st October 2019.

PDAU donates £1,750 to the
National Autistic Society

The PDAU promised to give £1 to charity for each vote cast in the recognition ballot at Boots this year, and as a result, a total donation of £3,500 has been split between two charities. The first half of the total amount raised has been donated to the National Autistic Society (NAS). Importantly, this donation was not dependent on how people voted and was a way to encourage participation in an important ballot whilst at the same time supporting worthy causes.
