How much longer can community pharmacists push linctus up the hill?

5th August 2019 by PIP editor Leave a Comment

Low pay, targets, performance management and no lunch break. Some complain of feeling guilty for taking a toilet break. The miserable conditions many community pharmacists have to put up with have been well documented in pharmacy circles. That said, really very little has changed in community pharmacy in the last 30 years.

Pharmacist prescribing will continue to be risky if we don’t get the basics right

21st June 2019 by PIP editor Leave a Comment

Like so many others recently I took the leap to the promised land of general practice. I have not really written about my experience of working in general practice largely because until now (2 years in) I had my head down finding my feet in this devilishly complex yet interesting role.

The Grouchy Pharmacist: Take me to your leader

12th June 2019 by PIP editor Leave a Comment

  Leadership, self-nominated awards and a healthy dose of self-promotion, here we go again…   If you had the misfortunate to catch a bit of the Twitter over the past week you’ll be forgiven for thinking that pharmacy is comprised of a pile of leaders and a bunch of wanna be leaders hanging on every […]

5th June 2019 by PIP editor Leave a Comment

  Part of the answer to mounting drugs-related deaths in Scotland lies in grassroots charities, community groups and experts with lived experience taking a lead role, a Canadian substance use researcher says.   Professor Bernie Pauly of the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research was in Scotland last week to speak at a Dundee harm reduction […]

Gregory Lawton on the benefits of whistleblowing

1st June 2019 by PIP editor Leave a Comment

  In this follow up to his first article on the subject Greg Lawton discusses the benefits of whistleblowing.   If I were an employer, I’d actively recruit whistleblowers; I’d want people who’d care enough to do the same for my organisation.   Whistleblowers won’t always get it right, but some have helped put a […]

Apprenticeships in pharmacy: be careful what you wish for

26th May 2019 by PIP editor Leave a Comment

The proposed apprenticeship for a pharmacist has come out of the blue for many of us and there have been lots of views on social media.
